ISV(i)
13 But they quickly forgot his deeds and did not wait for his counsel.
14 They were overwhelmed with craving in the wilderness, so God tested them in the wasteland.
15 God granted them their request, but sent leanness into their lives.
16 They were envious of Moses in the camp, and of Aaron, the holy one of the LORD.
17 The earth opened and swallowed Dathan, closing over Abiram’s clan.
18 Then a fire burned among their company, a flame that set the wicked ablaze.
19 They fashioned a calf at Horeb and worshipped a carved image.
20 They exchanged their glory with the image of a grass-eating bull.
21 They forgot God their Savior, who performed great things in Egypt—
22 awesome deeds in the land of Ham, astonishing deeds at the Reed Sea.
23 He would have destroyed them but for Moses, his chosen one, who stood in the breach before him to avert his destructive wrath.
24 They rejected the desirable land, and they didn’t trust his promise.
25 They murmured in their tents, and didn’t listen to the voice of the LORD.
26 So he swore an oath concerning them— that he would cause them to die in the wilderness,
27 to cause their children to perish among the nations and be scattered among many lands.
28 For they adopted the worship of Baal Peor and ate sacrifices offered to the dead.
29 They had provoked anger by their deeds, so that a plague broke out against them.
