3 “YOUR own eyes are the ones that saw what Jehovah did in the case of the Baʹal of Peʹor,*+ that every man who walked after the Baʹal of Peʹor was the one whom Jehovah your God annihilated from your midst.+

17 Was the error of Peʹor+ too small for us, from which we have not cleansed ourselves down to this day, although the plague came to be upon the assembly of Jehovah?+

10 “Like grapes in the wilderness I found Israel.+ Like the early fig on a fig tree in its beginning I saw the forefathers of YOU people.+ They themselves went in to Baʹal of Peʹor,*+ and they proceeded to dedicate themselves to* the shameful thing,+ and they came to be disgusting like [the thing of] their love.+
