Psalm 106:28

Praise To Yahweh For His Faithfulness In Israel's History

²⁷ And that He would cast their seed among the nations
And scatter them in the lands.
²⁸ They joined themselves also to Baal-peor,
And ate sacrifices offered to the dead.
²⁹ Thus they provoked Him to anger with their deeds,
And the plague broke out among them.
