Numbers 14:39-45
World English Bible
39 Moses told these words to all the children of Israel, and the people mourned greatly. 40 They rose up early in the morning and went up to the top of the mountain, saying, “Behold, we are here, and will go up to the place which Yahweh has promised; for we have sinned.”
41 Moses said, “Why now do you disobey the commandment of Yahweh, since it shall not prosper? 42 Don’t go up, for Yahweh isn’t among you; that way you won’t be struck down before your enemies. 43 For there the Amalekite and the Canaanite are before you, and you will fall by the sword because you turned back from following Yahweh; therefore Yahweh will not be with you.”
44 But they presumed to go up to the top of the mountain. Nevertheless, the ark of Yahweh’s covenant and Moses didn’t depart out of the camp. 45 Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites who lived in that mountain, and struck them and beat them down even to Hormah.

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
39 Moses told [the Lord’s] words to all the Israelites, and [they] mourned greatly.
40 And they rose early in the morning and went up to the top of the mountain, saying, Behold, we are here, and we intend to go up to the place which the Lord has promised, for we have sinned.
41 But Moses said, Why now do you transgress the command of the Lord [to turn back by way of the Red Sea], since it will not succeed?
42 Go not up, for the Lord is not among you, that you be not struck down before your enemies.
43 For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and you shall fall by the sword. Because you have turned away from following after the Lord, therefore the Lord will not be with you.
44 But they presumed to go up to the heights of the hill country; however, neither the ark of the covenant of the Lord nor Moses departed out of the camp.
45 Then the Amalekites came down and the Canaanites who dwelt in that hill country and smote the Israelites and beat them back, even as far as Hormah.

Numbers 14:39-45
New International Version
39 When Moses reported this(A) to all the Israelites, they mourned(B) bitterly. 40 Early the next morning they set out for the highest point in the hill country,(C) saying, “Now we are ready to go up to the land the Lord promised. Surely we have sinned!(D)”
41 But Moses said, “Why are you disobeying the Lord’s command? This will not succeed!(E) 42 Do not go up, because the Lord is not with you. You will be defeated by your enemies,(F) 43 for the Amalekites(G) and the Canaanites(H) will face you there. Because you have turned away from the Lord, he will not be with you(I) and you will fall by the sword.”
44 Nevertheless, in their presumption they went up(J) toward the highest point in the hill country, though neither Moses nor the ark of the Lord’s covenant moved from the camp.(K) 45 Then the Amalekites and the Canaanites(L) who lived in that hill country(M) came down and attacked them and beat them down all the way to Hormah.(N)
