23. 23Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them.
24. 24Yes, they despised the pleasant land; they did not believe his word,
25. 25but murmured in their tents and did not listen to the voice of the LORD.
26. 26Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness,
27. 27to overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands.
