³⁷ the men who brought up a bad report of the land—^(A)died by plague before the Lord.

¹⁰ nor grumble, ^(A)as some of them did and ^(B)were destroyed by ^(C)the Destroyer.

⁴⁹ Now those who died in the plague were 14,700, ^(A)besides those who died in the affair of Korah.

¹⁷ And with whom was he provoked for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, ^(A)whose bodies fell in the wilderness?

¹² I will strike them with the pestilence and disinherit them, and I ^(A)will make of you a nation greater and mightier than they.”

⁵ Now I want ^(A)to remind you, although you once fully knew it, that ^(B)Jesus, who saved^[a] a people out of the land of Egypt, ^(C)afterward destroyed those who did not believe.

³² therefore thus says the Lord: Behold, I will punish ^(A)Shemaiah of Nehelam and his descendants. He shall not have anyone living among this people, ^(B)and he shall not see the good that I will do to my people, declares the Lord, ^(C)for he has spoken rebellion against the Lord.’”

¹⁶ Therefore thus says the Lord: ‘Behold, I will remove you from the face of the earth. This year you shall die, ^(A)because you have uttered rebellion against the Lord.’”

¹⁷ In that same year, in the seventh month, the prophet Hananiah died.

⁹ Nevertheless, ^(A)those who died by the plague were twenty-four thousand.
