13 they soon forgot his works, they waited not for his counsel.
14 They indulged a longing desire in the desert, and tried God in a place without water.
15 Though he granted them their request, and sent satiety to their soul;
16 yet they provoked Moses in the camp and Aaron the consecrated of the Lord.
17 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abeiron;
18 and a fire was kindled in their assembly, and a flame burned up the wicked.
19 Even at Choreb they made a calf, and worshipped the graven image;
20 and exchanged their glory for the image of an ox which eateth grass.
21 They forgot God their saviour, who had done great things in Egypt;
22 wonderful things in the land of Cham, and terrible things at the Red sea:
23 whereupon he spake of destroying them, had not his chosen Moses stood before him in the breach, to turn him from his fierce indignation, that he might not utterly destroy.
24 When they despised the pleasant land and did not confide in his word:
25 but murmured in their tents; and hearkened not to the voice of the Lord:
26 he lifted up his hand against them; to overthrow them in the desert;
27 and cast back their seed among the nations; and disperse them in the countries.
28 When they consecrated themselves to Belphegor; and ate the sacrifices offered to dead men;
29 and provoked him with their devices; and the plague was raging among them:
30 Phineas stood up and made atonement; and the plague was stayed:
31 and it was counted to him for righteousness to all generations forever.
32 When they provoked him at the water of strife it went ill with Moses on their account.
33 For they provoked his spirit and he spake unadvisedly with his lips.
