Psalms 106:29

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.

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

30 But Phinehas stood and intervened, and the plague was restrained.

31 It was credited to him as righteousness for endless generations to come.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
