Numbers 14:40-42

New Catholic Bible

⁴⁰They rose up early the next morning and went to the top of the mountain and said, “Here we are! We have sinned, but we are ready to go up to the place that the Lord has promised.” ⁴¹But Moses said, “Why are you now disobeying the command of the Lord? This will not succeed. ⁴²Do not go up, for the Lord is not with you. You will be defeated by your enemies.
