Psalms 106:15
13 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.
So He granted their request, but sent a wasting disease upon them.
16 In the camp they envied Moses, as well as Aaron, the holy one of the LORD.
17 The earth opened up and swallowed Dathan; it covered the assembly of Abiram.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
