13 But soon they forgot his deeds ♦︎
and would not wait for his counsel.
14 A craving seized them in the wilderness, ♦︎
and they put God to the test in the desert.
15 He gave them their desire, ♦︎
but sent a wasting sickness among them.
16 They grew jealous of Moses in the camp ♦︎
and of Aaron, the holy one of the Lord.
17 So the earth opened and swallowed up Dathan ♦︎
and covered the company of Abiram.
18 A fire was kindled in their company; ♦︎
the flame burnt up the wicked.
19 They made a calf at Horeb ♦︎
and worshipped the molten image;
20 Thus they exchanged their glory ♦︎
for the image of an ox that feeds on hay.
21 They forgot God their saviour, ♦︎
who had done such great things in Egypt,
22 Wonderful deeds in the land of Ham ♦︎
and fearful things at the Red Sea.
23 So he would have destroyed them,
had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, ♦︎
to turn away his wrath from consuming them.
