19:106:014 But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness,
and tempted God in
the
desert.
19:106:015 And he gave them their request; but sent
leanness into their
soul.
19:106:016 They envied Moses also in the camp, and
Aaron the saint of the
lord.
19:106:017 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan
and covered the
company
of Abiram.
19:106:018 And a fire was kindled in their company;
the flame burned up
the
wicked.
19:106:019 They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image.
19:106:020 Thus they changed their glory into the
similitude of an ox
that
eateth grass.
19:106:021 They forgat God their saviour, which had
done great things in
Egypt;
19:106:022 Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and
terrible things by the
Red
sea.
19:106:023 Therefore he said that he would destroy
them, had not Moses
his
chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away
his
wrath,
lest he should destroy them.
19:106:024 Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they
believed not his
word:
19:106:025 But murmured in their tents, and hearkened
not unto the voice
of
the lord.
19:106:026 Therefore he lifted up his hand against
them, to overthrow
them
in the wilderness:
19:106:027 To overthrow their seed also among the
nations, and to scatter
them
in the lands.
19:106:028 They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor,
and ate the
sacrifices
of the dead.
19:106:029 Thus they provoked him to anger with their
inventions: and the
plague
brake in upon them.
19:106:030 Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment:
and so the
plague
was stayed.
19:106:031 And that was counted unto him for righteousness
unto all
generations
for evermore.
19:106:032 They angered him also at the waters of
strife, so that it went
ill
with Moses for their sakes:
19:106:033 Because they provoked his spirit, so that
he spake unadvisedly
with
his lips.
19:106:034 They did not destroy the nations, concerning
whom the lord
commanded
them:
19:106:035 But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works.
19:106:036 And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them.
19:106:037 Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their
daughters unto
devils,
19:106:038 And shed innocent blood, even the blood
of their sons and of
their
daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of
Canaan:
and the land was polluted with blood.
19:106:039 Thus were they defiled with their own works,
and went a
whoring
with their own inventions.
