8. Nevertheless he saved them for his name’s sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known.
9. He reprehended the Red sea also, and it was dried up, so he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness.
10. And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
11. And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left.
12. Then they believed his words; they sang his praise.
13. They became rash. They soon forgot his works; they waited not for his counsel:
14. They gave themselves over to lust in the wilderness and tempted God in the desert.
15. And he gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul.
16. Then they envied Moses in the camp and Aaron the saint of the Lord.
17. The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan and covered the company of Abiram.
18. And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.
19. They made a calf in Horeb and worshipped the molten image.
20. Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eats grass.
21. They forgot the God of their saving health, who had done great things in Egypt,
22. wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things upon the Red sea.
23. Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath lest he should destroy them.
24. And they despised the pleasant land; they did not believe his word:
25. But murmured in their tents and did not hearken unto the voice of the Lord.
26. Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness,
27. to overthrow their seed also among the Gentiles, and to scatter them in the lands.
