Psalm 106:19-23

19They made a calf in Horeb
   and worshiped a metal image. 20They exchanged the glory of GodHebrew exchanged their glory
   for the image of an ox that eats grass. 21They forgot God, their Savior,
   who had done great things in Egypt, 22wondrous works in the land of Ham,
   and awesome deeds by the Red Sea. 23Therefore he said he would destroy them—
   had not Moses, his chosen one,
stood in the breach before him,
   to turn away his wrath from destroying them.
