But they soon forgot his works; 13 they did not wait for his counsel. But they had a wanton craving in the wilderness, 14 and put God to the test in the desert; he gave them what they asked, 15 but sent a wasting disease among them. They were jealous of Moses in the camp, 16 and of Aaron, the holy one of the Lord. The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, 17 and covered the faction of Abiram. Fire also broke out in their company; 18 the flame burned up the wicked. They made a calf at Horeb 19 and worshiped a cast image. They exchanged the glory of God[] 20 for the image of an ox that eats grass. They forgot God, their Savior, 21 who had done great things in Egypt, wondrous works in the land of Ham, 22 and awesome deeds by the Red Sea.[] Therefore he said he would destroy them— 23 had not Moses, his chosen one, stood in the breach before him, to turn away his wrath from destroying them. Then they despised the pleasant land, 24 having no faith in his promise. They grumbled in their tents, 25 and did not obey the voice of the Lord. Therefore he raised his hand and swore to them 26 that he would make them fall in the wilderness, and would disperse[] their descendants among the nations, 27 scattering them over the lands. Then they attached themselves to the Baal of Peor, 28 and ate sacrifices offered to the dead; they provoked the Lord to anger with their deeds, 29 and a plague broke out among them. Then Phinehas stood up and interceded, 30 and the plague was stopped. And that has been reckoned to him as righteousness 31 from generation to generation forever. They angered the Lord[] at the waters of Meribah, 32 and it went ill with Moses on their account; for they made his spirit bitter, 33 and he spoke words that were rash.
