Deuteronomy 1:41-46
1599 Geneva Bible
41 Then ye answered and said unto me, We have sinned against the Lord, [a]we will go up, and fight, according to all that the Lord our God hath commanded us: and ye armed you every man to the war, and were ready to go up into the mountain.
42 But the Lord said unto me, Say unto them, Go not up, neither fight, (for I am [b]not among you) lest ye fall before your enemies.
43 And when I told you, ye would not hear, but rebelled against the commandment of the Lord, and were presumptuous, and went up into the mountain.
44 Then the Amorites which dwelt in that mountain came out against you, and chased you (as bees used to do) and destroyed you in Seir, even unto Hormah.
45 And when ye came again, ye wept before the Lord, but the Lord would not [c]hear your voice, nor incline his ears unto you.
46 So ye abode in Kadesh a long time, according to the time that ye had remained before.
