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.

²⁸ Say to them, ^(A)‘As I live, declares the Lord, ^(B)what you have said in my hearing I will do to you: ^29 (C)your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness, and ^(D)of all your number, listed in the census ^(E)from twenty years old and upward, who have grumbled against me, ³⁰ not one shall come into the land where I ^(F)swore that I would make you dwell, ^(G)except Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun.
