Psalms 106:13-23

13They quickly forgot what he did. They did not wait for his advice.

14They had an unreasonable desire ⌞for food⌟ in the wilderness. In the desert they tested God.

15He gave them what they asked for. He ⌞also⌟ gave them a degenerative disease.

16In the camp certain men became envious of Moses. They also became envious of Aaron, the Lord’s holy one.

17The ground split open and swallowed Dathan. It buried Abiram’s followers.

18A fire broke out among their followers. Flames burned up wicked people.

19At Mount Horeb they made ⌞a statue of⌟ a calf. They worshiped an idol made of metal.

20They traded their glorious God for the statue of a bull that eats grass.

21They forgot God, their savior, the one who did spectacular things in Egypt,

22miracles in the land of Ham, and terrifying things at the Red Sea.

23God said he was going to destroy them, but Moses, his chosen one, stood in his way to prevent him from exterminating them.
