19. And they fashioned a calf at Horeb, and they adored a graven image.
20. And they exchanged their glory for the likeness of a calf that eats hay.
21. They forgot God, who saved them, who did great things in Egypt:
22. miracles in the land of Ham, terrible things at the Red Sea.
23. And he said that he would destroy them, yet Moses, his elect, stood firm before him in the breach, in order to avert his wrath, lest he destroy them.
24. And they held the desirable land to be nothing. They did not trust in his word.
25. And they murmured in their tabernacles. They did not heed the voice of the Lord.
