Psalms 106:22
20 They exchanged their Glory for the image of a grass-eating ox.
21 They forgot God their Savior, who did great things in Egypt,
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.
24 They despised the pleasant land; they did not believe His promise.
