Psalms 106:13
11 And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left.
12 Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.
They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel:
14 But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.
15 And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.
