21 They forgot the God who had saved themby his mighty acts in Egypt.
22 What wonderful things he did there!What amazing things at the Red Sea!
23 When God said that he would destroy his people,his chosen servant, Moses, stood up against Godand prevented his anger from destroying them.
24 Then they rejected the pleasant land,because they did not believe God's promise.
25 They stayed in their tents and grumbledand would not listen to the Lord.
26 So he gave them a solemn warningthat he would make them die in the desert
27 and scatter their descendants among the heathen,letting them die in foreign countries.
