Psalms 106:28

but murmured in their tents,

and didn’t listen to the LORD’s voice.

Therefore he swore to them

that he would overthrow them in the wilderness,

that he would overthrow their offspring among the nations,

and scatter them in the lands.

Thus they provoked him to anger with their deeds.

The plague broke in on them.

Then Phinehas stood up and executed judgment,

so the plague was stopped.

That was credited to him for righteousness,

for all generations to come.
