Numbers 14:20-35
World English Bible
20 Yahweh said, “I have pardoned according to your word; 21 but in very deed—as I live, and as all the earth shall be filled with Yahweh’s glory— 22 because all those men who have seen my glory and my signs, which I worked in Egypt and in the wilderness, yet have tempted me these ten times, and have not listened to my voice; 23 surely they shall not see the land which I swore to their fathers, neither shall any of those who despised me see it. 24 But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and has followed me fully, him I will bring into the land into which he went. His offspring shall possess it. 25 Since the Amalekite and the Canaanite dwell in the valley, tomorrow turn and go into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea.” 26 Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 27 “How long shall I bear with this evil congregation that complain against me? I have heard the complaints of the children of Israel, which they complain against me. 28 Tell them, ‘As I live, says Yahweh, surely as you have spoken in my ears, so I will do to you. 29 Your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness; and all who were counted of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, who have complained against me, 30 surely you shall not come into the land concerning which I swore that I would make you dwell therein, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun. 31 But I will bring in your little ones that you said should be captured or killed, and they shall know the land which you have rejected. 32 But as for you, your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness. 33 Your children shall be wanderers in the wilderness forty years, and shall bear your prostitution, until your dead bodies are consumed in the wilderness. 34 After the number of the days in which you spied out the land, even forty days, for every day a year, you will bear your iniquities, even forty years, and you will know my alienation.’ 35 I, Yahweh, have spoken. I will surely do this to all this evil congregation who are gathered together against me. In this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.”

English Standard Version
God Promises Judgment
20 Then the Lord said, “I have pardoned, (A)according to your word. 21 But truly, as I live, and as all (B)the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord, 22 (C)none of the men who have seen my glory and my signs that I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and yet have put me to the test these (D)ten times and have not obeyed my voice, 23 (E)shall see the land that I swore to give to their fathers. And none of those who despised me shall see it. 24 But my servant (F)Caleb, because he has a different spirit and has (G)followed me fully, I will bring into the land into which he went, and his descendants shall possess it. 25 (H)Now, since the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwell in the valleys, (I)turn tomorrow and set out for the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea.”
26 And the Lord spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 27 “How long shall (J)this wicked congregation grumble against me? (K)I have heard the grumblings of the people of Israel, which they grumble against me. 28 Say to them, (L)‘As I live, declares the Lord, (M)what you have said in my hearing I will do to you: 29 (N)your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness, and (O)of all your number, listed in the census (P)from twenty years old and upward, who have grumbled against me, 30 not one shall come into the land where I (Q)swore that I would make you dwell, (R)except Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun. 31 (S)But your little ones, who you said would become a prey, I will bring in, and they shall know the land that (T)you have rejected. 32 But as for you, (U)your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness. 33 And your children (V)shall be shepherds in the wilderness (W)forty years and shall (X)suffer for your faithlessness, until the last of your dead bodies lies in the wilderness. 34 (Y)According to the number of the days in which you spied out the land, (Z)forty days, a year for each day, you shall bear your iniquity forty years, and you shall know my displeasure.’ 35 (AA)I, the Lord, have spoken. Surely this will I do to all (AB)this wicked congregation who are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall come to a full end, and there they shall die.”
