Numbers 32:13-15

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹³ And the Lord being angry against Israel, led them about through the desert forty years, until the whole generation, that had done evil in his sight, was consumed.

¹⁴ And behold, said he, you are risen up instead of your fathers, the increase and offspring of sinful men, to augment the fury of the Lord against Israel.

¹⁵ For if you will not follow him, he will leave the people in the wilderness, and you shall be the cause of the destruction of all.
