Psalm 106:22
wondrous works in the land of Ham, and awesome deeds by the Red Sea.
106
22
19
Psalm 106:23

106
23
19
Psalm 106:24

33
19
Psalm 106:34
They did not destroy the peoples as the LORD had commanded them,
106
34
19

but they mingled with the nations and adopted their customs.
106
35
19
Psalm 106:36
They worshiped their idols, which became a snare to them.
