Psalms 106:25
23 So He said He would destroy them— had not Moses His chosen one stood before Him in the breach to divert His wrath from destroying them.
24 They despised the pleasant land; they did not believe His promise.
They grumbled in their tents and did not listen to the voice of the LORD.
26 So He raised His hand and swore to cast them down in the wilderness,
27 to disperse their offspring among the nations and scatter them throughout the lands.
