19 At Horeb they made a calf
and worshiped the cast metal image.(A)
20 They exchanged their glory[a][b]
for the image of a grass-eating ox.(B)
21 They forgot God their Savior,
who did great things in Egypt,(C)
22 wondrous works in the land of Ham,[c]
awe-inspiring acts at the Red Sea.(D)
23 So he said he would have destroyed them—
if Moses his chosen one
had not stood before him in the breach
to turn his wrath away from destroying them.(E)

24 They despised the pleasant land
and did not believe his promise.(F)
25 They grumbled in their tents
and did not listen to the Lord.(G)
26 So he raised his hand against them with an oath
that he would make them fall in the desert(H)
27 and would disperse their descendants[d]
among the nations,
scattering them throughout the lands.(I)
