Psalms 106:14

Compare all

12 ^aThen they believed His words;
They sang His praise.

13 ^aThey soon forgot His works;
They did not wait for His counsel,

14 ^aBut lusted exceedingly in the wilderness,
And tested God in the desert.

15 ^aAnd He gave them their request,
But ^bsent leanness into their soul.

16 When ^athey envied Moses in the camp,
And Aaron the saint of the Lord,

17 ^aThe earth opened up and swallowed Dathan,
And covered the faction of Abiram.

18 ^aA fire was kindled in their company;
The flame burned up the wicked.

19 ^aThey made a calf in Horeb,
And worshiped the molded image.

20 Thus ^athey changed their glory
Into the image of an ox that eats grass.

21 They forgot God their Savior,
Who had done great things in Egypt,

22 Wondrous works in the land of Ham,
Awesome things by the Red Sea.

23 ^aTherefore He said that He would destroy them,
Had not Moses His chosen one ^bstood before Him in the breach,
To turn away His wrath, lest He destroy them.
