^(A)“Today, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”

^10 (A)But they rebelled
    ^(B)and grieved his Holy Spirit;
therefore he turned to be their enemy,
    and himself fought against them.

¹⁶ When men in the camp ^(E)were jealous of Moses
    and Aaron, ^(F)the holy one of the Lord,
^17 (G)the earth opened and swallowed up Dathan,
    and covered the company of Abiram.
^18 (H)Fire also broke out in their company;
    the flame burned up the wicked.

¹⁹ They ^(I)made a calf in Horeb
    and worshiped a metal image.
²⁰ They ^(J)exchanged the glory of God^[a]
    for the image of an ox that eats grass.
²¹ They ^(K)forgot God, their Savior,
    who had done great things in Egypt,
²² wondrous works in ^(L)the land of Ham,
    and awesome deeds by the Red Sea.
²³ Therefore ^(M)he said he would destroy them—
    had not Moses, his ^(N)chosen one,
^(O)stood in the breach before him,
    to turn away his wrath from destroying them.

²⁴ Then they ^(P)despised ^(Q)the pleasant land,
    having ^(R)no faith in his promise.
²⁵ They ^(S)murmured in their tents,
    and did not obey the voice of the Lord.
²⁶ Therefore he ^(T)raised his hand and swore to them
    that he would make them fall in the wilderness,
²⁷ and would make their offspring fall among the nations,
    ^(U)scattering them among the lands.

²⁸ Then they ^(V)yoked themselves to the ^(W)Baal of Peor,
    and ate sacrifices offered to ^(X)the dead;
²⁹ they provoked the Lord to anger with their deeds,
    and a plague broke out among them.
³⁰ Then ^(Y)Phinehas stood up and intervened,
    and the plague was stayed.
³¹ And that was ^(Z)counted to him as righteousness
    from generation to generation forever.

³² They ^(AA)angered him at the waters of Meribah,
    and it went ill with Moses on their account,
³³ for they ^(AB)made his spirit bitter,^[b]
    and he ^(AC)spoke rashly with his lips.

¹⁷ Yet they sinned still more against him,
    ^(A)rebelling against the Most High in the desert.
