Psalm 78:51

Lessons From Israel's Past

⁵⁰ He leveled a path for His anger;
He did not spare their soul from death,
But gave over their life to the plague,

The first issue of their virility in the tents of Ham.
⁵² But He led forth His own people like sheep
And guided them in the wilderness like a flock;
