| The Message (MSG) |
New International Version (NIV) |
|
7 And we must not turn our religion into a circus as they did - "First the people partied, then they threw a dance."
|
7 Do not be idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written: "The people sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in pagan revelry."
