Deuteronomy 1:41-46

Legacy Standard Bible

⁴¹ “^(A)Then you said to me, ‘We have sinned against Yahweh; we will indeed go up and fight, just as Yahweh our God commanded us.’ And every man of you girded on his weapons of war and regarded it as easy to go up into the hill country. ^42 (B)And Yahweh said to me, ‘Say to them, “Do not go up and do not fight—for I am not among you—so that you are not ^[a]defeated before your enemies.”’ ⁴³ So I spoke to you, but you would not listen. Instead ^(C)you rebelled against the ^[b]command of Yahweh and acted presumptuously and went up into the hill country. ^44 (D)And the Amorites who ^[c]lived in that hill country came out to meet you and pursued you ^(E)as bees do and crushed you from Seir to Hormah. ⁴⁵ Then you returned and wept before Yahweh; but ^(F)Yahweh did not listen to your voice nor give ear to you. ⁴⁶ So you remained in ^(G)Kadesh many days, according to the days that you remained there.
