Salmene 106,18

16 De ble misunnelige på Moses i leiren,
og på Aron, Herrens hellige.

17 Jorden åpnet seg og slukte Datan,
og dekket over Abirams flokk.

Og en ild brant opp i deres krets;
flammen fortærte de ugudelige.

19 De laget en kalv ved Horeb,
og tilba et støpt bilde.

20 De byttet bort sin ære
mot bildet av en okse som eter gress.

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.
