Context of Psalms 106:34
32They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes: 33Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips. They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom Yhwh commanded them: 35But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works. 36And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them.
