I Corinthians 10:5

But with most of them God was not well pleased: *for they were overthrown in the desert.

Numbers 26:64-65.

God was not well pleased, etc. Of 600,000, only Josue and Caleb entered the land of promise; the rest were destroyed, and perished in the wilderness. Their punishment ought to be an admonition to all to avoid such sins of idolatry, fornication, murmuring, etc.
