25 But murmured in their tentes, and hearkened not vnto the voice of the Lord.
26 Therefore hee lifted vp his hande against them, to destroy them in the wildernesse,
27 And to destroy their seede among the nations, and to scatter them throughout the countries.
28 They ioyned themselues also vnto Baalpeor, and did eate the offrings of the dead.
29 Thus they prouoked him vnto anger with their owne inuentions, and the plague brake in vpon them.
30 But Phinehas stoode vp, and executed iudgement, and the plague was staied.
31 And it was imputed vnto him for righteousnes from generation to generation for euer.
32 They angred him also at the waters of Meribah, so that Moses was punished for their sakes,
33 Because they vexed his spirite, so that hee spake vnaduisedly with his lippes.
34 Neither destroied they the people, as the Lord had commanded them,
35 But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their workes,
36 And serued their idoles, which were their ruine.
37 Yea, they offered their sonnes, and their daughters vnto deuils,
38 And shed innocent blood, euen the blood of their sonnes, and of their daughters, whome they offred vnto the idoles of Canaan, and the lande was defiled with blood.
39 Thus were they steined with their owne woorkes, and went a whoring with their owne inuentions.
40 Therefore was the wrath of the Lord kindled against his people, and he abhorred his owne inheritance.
41 And hee gaue them into the hande of the heathen: and they that hated them, were lordes ouer them.
42 Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were humbled vnder their hand.
43 Many a time did hee deliuer them, but they prouoked him by their counsels: therefore they were brought downe by their iniquitie.
44 Yet hee sawe when they were in affliction, and he heard their crie.
45 And he remembred his couenant towarde them and repented according to the multitude of his mercies,
46 And gaue them fauour in the sight of all them that lead them captiues.
47 Saue vs, O Lord our God, and gather vs from among the heathen, that we may praise thine holy Name, and glorie in thy praise.
48 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel for euer and euer, and let all the people say, So be it. Praise yee the Lord.
