Psalms 106:24-33

24They rejected the fruitful land; they did not believe his promise.

25They grumbled in their tents; they did not obey the Lord.

26So he made a solemn vow that he would make them die in the desert,

27make their descendants die among the nations, and scatter them among foreign lands.

28They worshiped Baal of Peor, and ate sacrifices offered to the dead.

29They made the Lord angry by their actions, and a plague broke out among them.

30Phinehas took a stand and intervened, and the plague subsided.

31This brought him a reward, an eternal gift.

32They made him angry by the waters of Meribah, and Moses suffered because of them,

33for they aroused his temper, and he spoke rashly.
