Psalms 106:27-31

And that He would bring down their descendants among the nations, And scatter them in the lands.

They also followed Baal-peor, And ate sacrifices offered to the dead.

So they provoked Him to anger with their deeds, And a plague broke out among them.

Then Phinehas stood up and intervened, And so the plague was brought to a halt.

And it was credited to him as righteousness, To all generations forever.
