Psalms 106:13

11 The waters covered their foes; not one of them remained.

12 Then they believed His promises and sang His praise.

Yet they soon forgot His works and failed to wait for His counsel.

14 They craved intensely in the wilderness and tested God in the desert.

15 So He granted their request, but sent a wasting disease upon them.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
