Psalms 106:27

25 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,

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.

29 So they provoked the LORD to anger with their deeds, and a plague broke out among them.
