13 But they soon (A)forgot his works;
    they did not wait for (B)his counsel.
14 But they had (C)a wanton craving in the wilderness,
    and (D)put God to the test in the desert;
15 he (E)gave them what they asked,
    but sent (F)a wasting disease among them.

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

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