25 And they murmured in their tents, not listening to the voice of Jehovah;
26 and He lifted up His hand to them, to make them fall in the wilderness;
27 to make their seed fall also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands.
28 They also were joined to Baal-peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead;
29 and provoked Him with their deeds; and a plague broke out among them.
30 Then Phinehas stood and intervened, and the plague was stayed;
31 and it was counted to him for righteousness to generation and generation, forever.
32 And they angered Him at the waters of Meribah, and it went ill for Moses because of them;
33 for they provoked his spirit, and he spoke rashly with his lips.
34 They did not destroy the peoples, as Jehovah said to them,
35 but mixed with the nations, and learned their works.
36 And they served their idols, and they became a snare to them.
37 Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to the demons;
38 and they shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan. And the land was defiled with the blood.
39 And they were unclean with their works, and went whoring in their acts.
40 And the anger of Jehovah burned against His people; and He detested His inheritance.
41 And He gave them into the hand of the nations; and those who hated them ruled over them.
42 And their enemies oppressed them and they were humbled under their hand.
43 Many times He delivered them, but they rebelled in their plans, and sank in their iniquities.
44 And He looked on their affliction when He heard their shout;
45 He remembered His covenant for them, and breathed a sigh, according to His many mercies.
46 And He gave them to tender mercies before all their captors.
47 Save us, O Jehovah our God, and gather us from the nations, to give thanks to Your holy name, to exult in Your praise.
48 Blessed is Jehovah God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting. And let all the people say, Amen! Praise Jehovah!
