Numbers 25:16-18

21st Century King James Version

¹⁶ And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,

¹⁷ “Vex the Midianites and smite them.

¹⁸ For they vex you with their wiles wherewith they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, who was slain in the day of the plague for Peor’s sake.”
