22 wondrous works in the land of Ham, and fearful things by the Red Sea.
23 Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy.

25 but murmured in their tents, and did not hearken to the voice of LORD.
26 Therefore he swore to them, that he would overthrow them in the wilderness,

32 They also angered him at the waters of Meribah, so that it went ill with Moses because of them,
33 because they were rebellious against his spirit, and he spoke ill-advisedly with his lips.
