Numbers 14:26-35
English Standard Version
26 And the Lord spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 27 “How long shall (A)this wicked congregation grumble against me? (B)I have heard the grumblings of the people of Israel, which they grumble against me. 28 Say to them, (C)‘As I live, declares the Lord, (D)what you have said in my hearing I will do to you: 29 (E)your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness, and (F)of all your number, listed in the census (G)from twenty years old and upward, who have grumbled against me, 30 not one shall come into the land where I (H)swore that I would make you dwell, (I)except Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun. 31 (J)But your little ones, who you said would become a prey, I will bring in, and they shall know the land that (K)you have rejected. 32 But as for you, (L)your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness. 33 And your children (M)shall be shepherds in the wilderness (N)forty years and shall (O)suffer for your faithlessness, until the last of your dead bodies lies in the wilderness. 34 (P)According to the number of the days in which you spied out the land, (Q)forty days, a year for each day, you shall bear your iniquity forty years, and you shall know my displeasure.’ 35 (R)I, the Lord, have spoken. Surely this will I do to all (S)this wicked congregation who are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall come to a full end, and there they shall die.”

An Attempted Invasion is Repulsed
26 And the Lord spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying: 27 How long shall this wicked congregation complain against me? I have heard the complaints of the Israelites, which they complain against me. 28 Say to them, ‘As I live’, says the Lord, ‘I will do to you the very things I heard you say: 29 your dead bodies shall fall in this very wilderness; and of all your number, included in the census, from twenty years old and upwards, who have complained against me, 30 not one of you shall come into the land in which I swore to settle you, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun. 31 But your little ones, who you said would become booty, I will bring in, and they shall know the land that you have despised. 32 But as for you, your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness. 33 And your children shall be shepherds in the wilderness for forty years, and shall suffer for your faithlessness, until the last of your dead bodies lies in the wilderness. 34 According to the number of the days in which you spied out the land, forty days, for every day a year, you shall bear your iniquity, forty years, and you shall know my displeasure.’ 35 I the Lord have spoken; surely I will do thus to all this wicked congregation gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall come to a full end, and there they shall die.
