²¹ They forgot God, their Savior,
    who had done great things in Egypt,^(A)
22 wondrous works in the land of Ham,
    and awesome deeds by the Red Sea.^[a](B)
23 Therefore 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.^(C)
