Psalms 106:23-30
-
23 Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them.
-
24 Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word:
-
25 But murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD.
-
26 Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness:
-
27 To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands.
-
28 They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
-
29 Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake in upon them.
-
30 Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague was stayed.
