1 Corinthians 10:9-11

New International Reader's Version

⁹ We should not test the Messiah, as some of them did. They were killed by snakes. ¹⁰ Don’t speak against God. That’s what some of the people of Israel did. And they were killed by the destroying angel.

¹¹ Those things happened to them as examples for us. They were written down to warn us. That’s because we are living at the time when God’s work is being completed.
