Deuteronomy 1:42-44

Good News Translation

⁴² “But the Lord said to me, ‘Warn them not to attack, for I will not be with them, and their enemies will defeat them.’ ⁴³ I told you what the Lord had said, but you paid no attention. You rebelled against him, and in your pride you marched into the hill country. ⁴⁴ Then the Amorites who lived in those hills came out against you like a swarm of bees. They chased you as far as Hormah and defeated you there in the hill country of Edom.
