³ and Israel is joined to Baal-Peor, and the anger of Jehovah burneth against Israel.

¹⁷ Is the iniquity of Peor little to us, from which we have not been cleansed till this day -- and the plague is in the company of Jehovah,

¹⁰ As grapes in a wilderness I found Israel, As the first-fruit in a fig-tree, at its beginning, I have seen your fathers, They -- they have gone in `to' Baal-Peor, And are separated to a shameful thing, And are become abominable like their love.

²⁸ And they are coupled to Baal-Peor, And eat the sacrifices of the dead,

²⁹ And they provoke to anger by their actions, And a plague breaketh forth upon them,

⁵ And Moses saith unto the judges of Israel, `Slay ye each his men who are joined to Baal-Peor.'

³ `Your eyes are seeing that which Jehovah hath done in Baal-Peor, for every man who hath gone after Baal-Peor, Jehovah thy God hath destroyed him from thy midst;

⁴ and ye who are cleaving to Jehovah your God, `are' alive, all of you, to-day.

¹⁴ And the anger of Jehovah burneth against Israel, and He giveth them into the hand of spoilers, and they spoil them, and He selleth them into the hand of their enemies round about, and they have not been able any more to stand before their enemies;

²⁰ And the anger of Jehovah doth burn against Israel, and He saith, `Because that this nation have transgressed My covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened to My voice --

¹¹ Who knoweth the power of Thine anger? And according to Thy fear -- Thy wrath?

⁴ And thou hast let go -- even through thyself, Of thine inheritance that I gave to thee, And I have caused thee to serve thine enemies, In a land that thou hast not known, For a fire ye have kindled in Mine anger, Unto the age it doth burn.
