Psalms 106:26

24 They despised the pleasant land; they did not believe His promise.

25 They grumbled in their tents and did not listen to the voice of the LORD.

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.

28 They yoked themselves to Baal of Peor and ate sacrifices offered to lifeless gods.
