25 But murmured in their tents, and hearkened not to 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 to Baal-peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
29 Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions: and the plague broke in upon them.
30 Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague was stayed.
31 And that was counted to him for righteousness to all generations for ever.
