13 But they soon forgot what he had doneand did not wait for his plan to unfold.
14 In the desert they gave in to their craving;in the wilderness they put God to the test.
15 So he gave them what they asked for,but sent a wasting disease among them.
16 In the camp they grew envious of Mosesand of Aaron, who was consecrated to the Lord.
17 The earth opened up and swallowed Dathan;it buried the company of Abiram.
18 Fire blazed among their followers;a flame consumed the wicked.
19 At Horeb they made a calfand worshipped an idol cast from metal.
