Numbers 13:30-33
New King James Version
30 Then (A)Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, “Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it.”
31 (B)But the men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.” 32 And they (C)gave the children of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, “The land through which we have gone as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and (D)all the people whom we saw in it are men of great stature. 33 There we saw the [a]giants ((E)the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were (F)like[b] grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were (G)in their sight.”

Numbers 13:30-33
New International Version
30 Then Caleb(A) silenced the people before Moses and said, “We should go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly do it.”
31 But the men who had gone up with him said, “We can’t attack those people; they are stronger than we are.”(B) 32 And they spread among the Israelites a bad report(C) about the land they had explored. They said, “The land we explored devours(D) those living in it. All the people we saw there are of great size.(E) 33 We saw the Nephilim(F) there (the descendants of Anak(G) come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers(H) in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them.”
