25 And they murmured in their tents; they hearkened not to the voice of the Lord.
26 So He lifted up His hand against them, to cast them down in the wilderness;
27 and to cast down their seed among the nations, and to scatter them in the countries.
28 They were joined also to Baal of Peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead. And they provoked Him with their deeds;
29 and destruction was multiplied among them.
30 Then Phinehas stood up and made atonement, and the plague ceased.
31 And it was counted to him for righteousness, to all generations forever.
32 They provoked Him also at the Water of Strife, and Moses was hurt for their sakes;
33 for they provoked his spirit, and he spoke unadvisedly with his lips.
34 They destroyed not the nations which the Lord told them to destroy;
35 but were mingled with the heathen, and learned their works.
36 And they served their graven images; and it became an offense to them.
37 And they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons,
38 and shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan; and the land was defiled with blood,
39 and was polluted with their works; and they went a whoring by their own deeds.
40 So the Lord was very angry with His people, and He abhorred His inheritance.
41 And He delivered them into the hands of their enemies; and they that hated them ruled over them.
42 Ands their enemies oppressed them, and they were brought down under their hands.
43 Many a time He delivered them; but they provoked Him by their counsel, and they were brought low by their iniquities.
44 You the Lord looked upon their affliction, when You heard their petition.
45 And He remembered His covenant, and relented according to the multitude of His mercy.
46 And He caused them to be pitied in the sight of all who carried them captive.
47 Save us, O Lord our God, and gather us from among the heathen, that we may give thanks to Your holy name, that we may glory in Your praise.
48 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting; and all the people shall say, Amen, Amen.
