God recalls his own experience with Israel: they tested him—challenged, doubted, complained—despite seeing miracles and provision. The word 'proved' suggests examining or assaying, as if to test God's reliability.
'Saw my work' emphasizes that the testing was willful, not from ignorance. They had direct evidence of God's power and care, yet persisted in doubt.
