25 They complained in their tents. They did not obey the LORD.
26 So he lifted up his hand unto them, that he would let them fall in the desert;
27 kill their descendants among the nations, and scatter them throughout various lands.
28 They also attached themselves to Baal of Peor, and they ate sacrifices offered to the dead.
29 Thus they provoked to anger by their deeds, and a plague broke out among them.
30 Then Phinehas stood and intervened, and the plague was stayed;
31 That was credited to him for righteousness, for all generations to come.
32 And they angered Him at the waters of Meribah, and it went ill for Moses because of them;
33 for they rebelled against his spirit so that he babbled with his lips:
34 They did not destroy the peoples, as the LORD commanded them,
35 but they mingled with the nations and learned their works,
36 They served their idols, which became a snare to them.
37 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 Thus they defiled themselves by their deeds, And they prostituted themselves by their actions."
40 Therefore the Lord was incensed against his people, and abhorred his inheritance.
41 He handed them over to other nations, and those who hated them ruled them.
42 Their enemies oppressed them and made them subject to their power.
43 Many times He delivered them, but they rebelled in their counsel and sank in their iniquities.
44 Yet he looked upon their distress when he heard their cry.
45 he remembered his covenant and according to the multitude of his mercies;
46 He also made them to be pitied by all those who carried them captive.
47 Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from the nations, so that we may give thanks to your holy name and boast in your praise.
48 Thanks be to the LORD the God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting. Let all the people say amen. Praise the LORD!
