Psalms 106:21
19 At Horeb they made a calf and worshiped a molten image.
20 They exchanged their Glory for the image of a grass-eating ox.
They forgot God their Savior, who did great things in Egypt,
22 wondrous works in the land of Ham, and awesome deeds by the Red Sea.
23 So He said He would destroy them— had not Moses His chosen one stood before Him in the breach to divert His wrath from destroying 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.
