23 Therefore he said that he would destroy them,had Moses, his chosen, not stood before him in the breach,to turn away his wrath, so that he wouldn’t destroy them.
24 Yes, they despised the pleasant land.They didn’t believe his word,
25 but murmured in their tents,and didn’t listen to the Lord’s voice.
26 Therefore he swore to themthat he would overthrow them in the wilderness,
27 that he would overthrow their offspring amongst the nations,and 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 deeds.The plague broke in on them.
