9 He gave a command to the Red Sea,and it dried up;he led his people across on dry land.
10 He saved them from those who hated them;he rescued them from their enemies.
11 But the water drowned their enemies;not one of them was left.
12 Then his people believed his promisesand sang praises to him.
13 But they quickly forgot what he had doneand acted without waiting for his advice.
14 They were filled with craving in the desertand put God to the test;
15 so he gave them what they asked for,but also sent a terrible disease among them.
