13They quickly forgot His works;

They did not wait for His plan,

14But became lustfully greedy in the wilderness,

And put God to the test in the desert.

15So He gave them their request,

But sent a wasting disease among them.

16When they became envious of Moses in the camp,

And of Aaron, the holy one of the Lord,

17The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan,

And engulfed the company of Abiram.

18And a fire blazed up in their company;

The flame consumed the wicked.

19They made a calf in Horeb,

And worshiped a cast metal image.

20So they exchanged their glory

For the image of an ox that eats grass.

21They forgot God their Savior,

Who had done great things in Egypt,

22Wonders in the land of Ham,

And awesome things by the Red Sea.

23Therefore He said that He would destroy them,

If Moses, His chosen one, had not stood in the gap before Him,

To turn away His wrath from destroying them.

24Then they rejected the pleasant land;

They did not believe His word,

25But grumbled in their tents;

They did not listen to the voice of the Lord.

26Therefore He swore to them

That He would have them fall in the wilderness,

27And that He would bring down their descendants among the nations,

And scatter them in the lands.

28They also followed Baal-peor,

And ate sacrifices offered to the dead.

29So they provoked Him to anger with their deeds,

And a plague broke out among them.

30Then Phinehas stood up and intervened,

And so the plague was brought to a halt.

31And it was credited to him as righteousness,

To all generations forever.

32They also provoked Him to wrath at the waters of Meribah,

So that it went badly for Moses on their account.

33Because they were rebellious against His Spirit,

He spoke rashly with his lips.
