These references come from the
New International Version of the bible (www.thebible.com).
As time permits, I will add several other biblical versions as
there are often interesting nuances in the translations.
Psalm 106
24 Then they despised the pleasant land; they did not believe
his promise.
25 They grumbled in their tents and did not obey the LORD.
26 So he swore to them with uplifted hand that he would make
them fall in the desert,
27 make their descendants fall among the nations and scatter
them throughout the lands.
28 They yoked themselves to the Baal of Peor and ate
sacrifices offered to lifeless gods;
29 they provoked the LORD to anger by their wicked deeds, and
a plague broke out among
them.
30 But Phinehas stood up and intervened, and the plague was
checked.
31 This was credited to him as righteousness for endless
generations to come.
32 By the waters of Meribah
they angered the LORD, and trouble came to Moses because of
them;
33 for they rebelled against the Spirit of God, and rash
words came from Moses' lips.
34 They did not destroy the peoples as the LORD had commanded
them,
35 but they mingled with the nations and adopted their
customs.
36 They worshiped their idols, which became a snare to them.
37 They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons.
38
They shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they
sacrificed to
the
idols of Canaan, and the land was desecrated by their blood.
39 They defiled themselves by what they did; by their deeds
they prostituted themselves. |
