Psalms 106:28-39

¶They joined themselves also to [the idol] Baal of Peor, And ate sacrifices offered to the dead. Thus they provoked Him to anger with their practices, And a plague broke out among them. Then Phinehas [the priest] stood up and interceded, And so the plague was halted. [Num 25:7, 8] And that was credited to him for righteousness, To all generations forever. ¶They provoked Him to anger at the waters of Meribah, So that it went hard with Moses on their account; [Num 20:3-13] Because they were rebellious against His Spirit, Moses spoke recklessly with his lips. ¶They did not destroy the [pagan] peoples [in Canaan], As the LORD commanded them, But they mingled with the [idolatrous] nations And learned their ways, And served their idols, Which became a [dreadful] snare to them. They even sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons [Deut 32:17; 2 Kin 16:3] And shed innocent blood, Even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, Whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan; And the land was polluted with their blood. In this way they became unclean in their practices; They played the prostitute in their own deeds [by giving their worship, which belongs to God alone, to other “gods”].
