17The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, And covered the company of Abiram.
18A fire was kindled in their company. The flame burned up the wicked.
19They made a calf in Horeb, And worshipped a molten image.
20Thus they exchanged their glory For an image of a bull that eats grass.
21They forgot God, their Savior, Who had done great things in Egypt,
22Wondrous works in the land of Ham, And awesome things by the Red Sea.
23Therefore he said that he would destroy them, Had Moses, his chosen, not stood before him in the breach, To turn away his wrath, so that he wouldn`t destroy them.
