8. And he saved them for the sake of his name, so that he might make known his power.
9. And he rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up. And he led them into the abyss, as if into a desert.
10. And he saved them from the hand of those who hated them. And he redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
11. And the water covered those who troubled them. Not one of them remained.
12. And they believed his words, and they sang his praises.
13. As soon as they had finished, they forgot his works, and they would not endure his counsel.
14. And they coveted their desire in the desert, and they tempted God in a waterless place.
15. And he granted to them their request, and he sent abundance into their souls.
16. And they provoked Moses in the camp, and Aaron, the holy one of the Lord.
17. The earth opened and swallowed Dathan, and it covered the congregation of Abiram.
18. And a fire broke out in their congregation. A flame burned up the sinners.
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.
