- We have sinned, even as our fathers did; we have done wrong and acted wickedly.
- When our fathers were in Egypt, they gave no thought to your miracles; they did not remember your many kindnesses, and they rebelled by the sea, the Red Sea.
- Yet he saved them for his name's sake, to make his mighty power known.
- He rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up; he led them through the depths as through a desert.
- He saved them from the hand of the foe; from the hand of the enemy he redeemed them.

- The waters covered their adversaries; not one of them survived.
- Then they believed his promises and sang his praise.
- But they soon forgot what he had done and did not wait for his counsel.
- In the desert they gave in to their craving; in the wasteland they put God to the test.
- So he gave them what they asked for, but sent a wasting disease upon them.
