Deuteronomy 1:42-44

New Century Version

⁴² But the Lord said to me, “Tell the people, ‘You must not go up there and fight. I will not be with you, and your enemies will defeat you.’”

⁴³ So I told you, but you would not listen. You would not obey the Lord’s command. You were proud, so you went on up into the mountains, ⁴⁴ and the Amorites who lived in those mountains came out and fought you. They chased you like bees and defeated you from Edom to Hormah.
