29
Thus they provoked Him to anger with their deeds, And the plague broke out among them.
30
Then Phinehas stood up and intervened, And the plague was stopped.
31
And that was accounted to him for righteousness To all generations forevermore.
32
They angered Him also at the waters of strife, So that it went ill with Moses on account of them;
33
Because they rebelled against His Spirit, So that he spoke rashly with his lips.
34
They did not destroy the peoples, Concerning whom the Lord had commanded them,
35
But they mingled with the Gentiles And learned their works;
36
They served their idols, Which became a snare to them.
37
They even 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 polluted with blood.
39
Thus they were defiled by their own works, And played the harlot by their own deeds.
