after which their ancestors walked.(A)

13 But they soon forgot his works;
they did not wait for his counsel.(A)
14 But they had a wanton craving in the wilderness
and put God to the test in the desert;(B)
15 he gave them what they asked
but sent a wasting disease among them.(C)
16 They were jealous of Moses in the camp
and of Aaron, the holy one of the Lord.(D)
17 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan

18 Fire also broke out in their company;
the flame burned up the wicked.(F)
19 They made a calf at Horeb

20 They exchanged the glory of God[a]
for the image of an ox that eats grass.(H)

who had done great things in Egypt,(I)
22 wondrous works in the land of Ham,

“They shall not enter my rest.”(D)

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
12 Then the Lord said to me, ‘Get up; go down quickly from here, for your people whom you have brought from Egypt have acted corruptly. They have been quick to turn from the way that I commanded them; they have cast an image for themselves.’(A) 13 Furthermore, the Lord said to me, ‘I have seen that this people is indeed a stubborn people.(B) 14 Let me alone that I may destroy them and blot out their name from under heaven, and I will make of you a nation mightier and more numerous than they.’(C)
15 “So I turned and went down from the mountain, while the mountain was ablaze; the two tablets of the covenant were in my two hands.(D) 16 Then I saw that you had indeed sinned against the Lord your God, by casting for yourselves an image;[a] you had been quick to turn from the way that the Lord had commanded you.(E) 17 So I took hold of the two tablets and flung them from my two hands, smashing them before your eyes. 18 Then I lay prostrate before the Lord as before, forty days and forty nights; I neither ate bread nor drank water because of all the sin you had committed, provoking the Lord by doing what was evil in his sight.(F) 19 For I was afraid that the anger that the Lord bore against you was so fierce that he would destroy you. But the Lord listened to me that time also.(G) 20 The Lord was so angry with Aaron that he was ready to destroy him, but I interceded also on behalf of Aaron at that same time. 21 Then I took the sinful thing you had made, the calf, and burned it with fire and crushed it, grinding it thoroughly, until it was reduced to dust, and I threw the dust into the stream that runs down the mountain.(H)
22 “At Taberah also, and at Massah, and at Kibroth-hattaavah, you provoked the Lord to wrath.(I) 23 And when the Lord sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, ‘Go up and occupy the land that I have given you,’ you rebelled against the command of the Lord your God, neither trusting him nor obeying him. 24 You have been rebellious against the Lord as long as he has[b] known you.(J)
