11. The waters covered their enemies;there was not one of them left.
12. Then they believed His words;they sang His praise.
13. But they soon forgot His works;they did not wait for His counsel,
14. but they lusted exceedingly in the wildernessand tested God in the desert.
15. He gave them their request,but He sent a wasting disease on them.
16. They envied in the camp Mosesand Aaron, the holy priest of the Lord.
17. The earth opened and swallowed up Dathanand engulfed those led by Abiram.
18. A fire broke out among their company;the flame burned up the wicked.
19. They made a calf at Horeb,and worshipped the molded image.
20. Thus they changed the glory of Godfor the image of an ox that eats grass.
21. They forgot God, their Deliverer,who had done great things in Egypt,
22. wondrous works in the land of Ham,and marvelous deeds by the Red Sea.
23. Therefore He said that He would destroy them,had not Moses, His chosen one,stood before Him to intercede,to turn away His wrath from destroying them.
