Numbers 13:30-33
King James Version
30 And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.
31 But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.
32 And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.
33 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.

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.”
