Psalms 106:13-23

13But they quickly forgot His works; They did not [patiently] wait for His counsel and purpose [to be revealed regarding them],

14But lusted intensely in the wilderness And tempted God [with their insistent desires] in the desert.

15So He gave them their request, But sent a wasting disease among them.

16They envied Moses in the camp, And Aaron [the high priest], the holy one of the Lord,

17Therefore the earth opened and swallowed Dathan, And engulfed the company of Abiram.

18And a fire broke out in their company; The flame consumed the wicked.

19They made a calf in Horeb (Sinai) And worshiped a cast image.

20Thus they exchanged [the true God who was] their glory For the image of an ox that eats grass.

21They forgot God their Savior, Who had done such great things in Egypt,

22Wonders in the land of Ham, Awesome things at the Red Sea.

23Therefore He said He would destroy them, [And He would have done so] had not Moses, His chosen one, stepped into the gap before Him, To turn away His wrath from destroying them.
