Phone Call

It's 17:07
The EXODUS
Time for me to LEAVE work
At that point I get a call
'Hello?'
'Hello, Ma. The carpenter is in, tools and all'
'Tell him to start work, I'll be home in an hour'
'I told him so, but he says you owe him some 'power''
'Power? What does he mean let me speak with him'
'Please hold'
'Madam?'
'Good evening, Boss. What's going on?'
'Madam, you said you go give me some'
'Please what some?'
'Some more power, more money. So I no fi' start'
'MASSAH you want to TEST my heart?
What money again? I paid for everything just like that
Now you want something more
Boss, MERIBAH, please give the phone to my son'
'Hello Ma?'
'This our carpenter
He wants to QUARREL nti MERIBAH
I won't be long, I'll be home in an hour
Ok?'
'Ok'
'See you soon'
'Bye'
What koraa is this?
TESTING and QUARRELS
When I am about to LEAVE
Call time 17:07
Good heavens!!!
Hmmm, these words weirdly remind me
Of Exodus verse seven
Of chapter seventeen

Exodus 17:7 
And he called the place Massah and Meribah because the Israelites quarrelled and because they tested the LORD saying, 'Is the LORD among us or not?'
(version: NIV-UK)
