Numbers 32:13-15

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹³ And the Lord’s anger was kindled against Israel and He made them wander in the wilderness for forty years, until all the generation that had done evil in the sight of the Lord was consumed.

¹⁴ And behold, you are risen up in your fathers’ stead, a brood of sinful men, to increase still more the fierce anger of the Lord against Israel.

¹⁵ For if you turn from following Him, He will again abandon them in the wilderness, and you will destroy all this people.
