Lord our God, you answered them; you were to Israel a forgiving God, though you punished their misdeeds.

Lord our God, you answered them. You showed Israel that you are a God who forgives. But when they did wrong, you punished them.

O Lord our God, you answered them; you were a forgiving God to them, but an avenger of their wrongdoings.

LORD our God, you answered them. You were a forgiving God to them, but an avenger of their sinful actions.

Lord our God, You answered them; You were a forgiving God to them, And yet an avenger of their evil deeds.

You answered them, O Lord our God; You were to them God-Who-Forgives, Though You took vengeance on their deeds.

Thou answeredst them, O Jehovah our God: Thou wast a God that forgavest them, Though thou tookest vengeance of their doings.

Lord our God, You answered them. You were a forgiving God to them, an avenger of their sinful actions.

Thou answeredst them, O LORD our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions.

O LORD our God, you answered them. They found you to be a forgiving God, but also one who punished their sinful deeds.

You answered them, Yahweh our God. You are a God who forgave them, although you took vengeance for their doings.

Do not be afraid, Jacob, my servant, for I am with you,” says the Lord.“ I will completely destroy the nations to which I have exiled you, but I will not completely destroy you. I will discipline you, but with justice; I cannot let you go unpunished.”

But I will never stop loving him nor fail to keep my promise to him.

But the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,“ Because you did not trust me enough to demonstrate my holiness to the people of Israel, you will not lead them into the land I am giving them!”

Then the Lord said,“ I will pardon them as you have requested.But as surely as I live, and as surely as the earth is filled with the Lord’s glory,not one of these people will ever enter that land. They have all seen my glorious presence and the miraculous signs I performed both in Egypt and in the wilderness, but again and again they have tested me by refusing to listen to my voice.They will never even see the land I swore to give their ancestors. None of those who have treated me with contempt will ever see it.But my servant Caleb has a different attitude than the others have. He has remained loyal to me, so I will bring him into the land he explored. His descendants will possess their full share of that land.Now turn around, and don’t go on toward the land where the Amalekites and Canaanites live. Tomorrow you must set out for the wilderness in the direction of the Red Sea.”Then the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,“ How long must I put up with this wicked community and its complaints about me? Yes, I have heard the complaints the Israelites are making against me.Now tell them this:‘ As surely as I live, declares the Lord, I will do to you the very things I heard you say.You will all drop dead in this wilderness! Because you complained against me, every one of you who is twenty years old or older and was included in the registration will die.You will not enter and occupy the land I swore to give you. The only exceptions will be Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.“‘ You said your children would be carried off as plunder. Well, I will bring them safely into the land, and they will enjoy what you have despised.But as for you, you will drop dead in this wilderness.And your children will be like shepherds, wandering in the wilderness for forty years. In this way, they will pay for your faithlessness, until the last of you lies dead in the wilderness.“‘ Because your men explored the land for forty days, you must wander in the wilderness for forty years— a year for each day, suffering the consequences of your sins. Then you will discover what it is like to have me for an enemy.’

“ The time has come for Aaron to join his ancestors in death. He will not enter the land I am giving the people of Israel, because the two of you rebelled against my instructions concerning the water at Meribah.

I feared that the furious anger of the Lord, which turned him against you, would drive him to destroy you. But again he listened to me.The Lord was so angry with Aaron that he wanted to destroy him, too. But I prayed for Aaron, and the Lord spared him.

Now go, lead the people to the place I told you about. Look! My angel will lead the way before you. And when I come to call the people to account, I will certainly hold them responsible for their sins.”Then the Lord sent a great plague upon the people because they had worshiped the calf Aaron had made.

But I did find this: God created people to be virtuous, but they have each turned to follow their own downward path.”

I thought,‘ Surely they will have reverence for me now! Surely they will listen to my warnings. Then I won’t need to strike again, destroying their homes.’ But no, they get up early to continue their evil deeds.

Yes, they knew God, but they wouldn’t worship him as God or even give him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. As a result, their minds became dark and confused.

“ But the Lord was angry with me because of you, and he would not listen to me.‘ That’s enough!’ he declared.‘ Speak of it no more.

So Aaron said,“ Take the gold rings from the ears of your wives and sons and daughters, and bring them to me.”

But while they were gorging themselves on the meat— while it was still in their mouths— the anger of the Lord blazed against the people, and he struck them with a severe plague.So that place was called Kibroth hattaavah( which means“ graves of gluttony”) because there they buried the people who had craved meat from Egypt.
