³⁷ Those same men who said evil of the land, came to their death by disease before the Lord.

¹⁰ And do not say evil things against the Lord, as some of them did, and destruction overtook them.

⁴⁹ Now fourteen thousand, seven hundred deaths were caused by that disease, in addition to those who came to their end because of what Korah had done.

¹⁷ And with whom was he angry for forty years? was it not with those who did evil, who came to their deaths in the waste land?

⁵ Now it is my purpose to put you in mind, though you once had knowledge of all these things, of how the Lord, having taken a people safely out of Egypt, later sent destruction on those who had no faith;

¹² I will send disease on them for their destruction, and take away their heritage, and I will make of you a nation greater and stronger than they.

⁹ But twenty-four thousand of them had come to their death by the disease.

¹⁶ For this reason the Lord has said, See, I will send you away from off the face of the earth: this year death will overtake you, because you have said words against the Lord.

¹⁷ So death came to Hananiah the prophet the same year, in the seventh month.

³² For this cause the Lord has said, Truly I will send punishment on Shemaiah and on his seed; not a man of his family will have a place among this people, and he will not see the good which I am going to do to my people, says the Lord: because he has said words against the Lord.
