Joshua 9:12-14
1599 Geneva Bible
12 This our [a]bread we took it hot with us for victuals out of our houses, the day we departed to come unto you: but now behold, it is dried, and it is molded.
13 Also these bottles of wine which we filled, were new, and lo, they be rent, and these our garments and our shoes are old, by reason of the exceeding great journey.
14 ¶ And the [b]men accepted their tale concerning their victuals, and counseled not with the mouth of the Lord.
