30. Then stood up Phinehas and executed judgment, and the plague was stayed;
31. And that was reckoned unto him for righteousness, from generation to generation, for evermore.
32. And they moved him to wrath at the waters of Meribah, and it went ill with Moses on their account;
33. For they provoked his spirit, so that he spoke unadvisedly with his lips.
34. They did not destroy the peoples, as Jehovah commanded them;
35. But they mingled with the nations, and learned their works;
36. And they served their idols; and they were a snare unto them:
37. And they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto demons,
38. And shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan; and the land was polluted with blood.
39. And they were defiled with their works, and went a-whoring in their doings.
40. Then was the anger of Jehovah kindled against his people, and he abhorred his inheritance;
41. And he gave them into the hand of the nations; and they that hated them ruled over them:
42. And their enemies oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.
