7. Our ancestors in Egyptdid not learn from your miracles.They did not remember all your kindnesses.So they turned against you at the Red Sea.
8. But the Lord saved them for his own sake,to show his great power.
9. He commanded the Red Sea, and it dried up.He led them through the deep sea as if it were a desert.
10. He saved them from those who hated them.He saved them from their enemies.
11. And the water covered their enemies.Not one of them escaped.
12. Then the people believed what the Lord said.They sang praises to him.
13. But they quickly forgot what he had done.They did not wait for his advice.
14. They became greedy for food in the desert.And they tested God there.
15. So he gave them what they wanted.But he also sent a terrible disease among them.
16. The people in the camp became jealous of Mosesand of Aaron, the holy priest of the Lord.
17. Then the ground opened up and swallowed Dathan.It closed over Abiram’s group.
18. Then a fire burned among their followers.Flames burned up the wicked people.
19. The people made a gold calf at Mount Sinai.They worshiped a metal statue.
