Psalms 106:13-23

13They quickly forgot what he had done; they did not wait for his instructions.

14In the wilderness they had an insatiable craving for meat; they challenged God in the desert.

15He granted their request, then struck them with a disease.

16In the camp they resented Moses, and Aaron, the Lord’s holy priest.

17The earth opened up and swallowed Dathan; it engulfed the group led by Abiram.

18Fire burned their group; the flames scorched the wicked.

19They made an image of a calf at Horeb, and worshiped a metal idol.

20They traded their majestic God for the image of an ox that eats grass.

21They rejected the God who delivered them, the one who performed great deeds in Egypt,

22amazing feats in the land of Ham, mighty acts by the Red Sea.

23He threatened to destroy them, but Moses, his chosen one, interceded with him and turned back his destructive anger.
