Numbers 32:13-15

Common English Bible

¹³ The Lord became angry with the Israelites and made them wander in the desert for forty years until the entire generation had died, which had done evil in the Lord’s eyes. ¹⁴ Now you’ve taken the place of your ancestors, a group of sinful men, to intensify the Lord’s anger against Israel. ¹⁵ If you turn away from him, he will turn away again to abandon Israel in the desert. Then you will destroy this entire people.”
