Numbers 32:13-15

New Catholic Bible

¹³ The Lord’s anger blazed against Israel and he made them wander in the desert for forty years until the entire generation that had done evil in the sight of the Lord was consumed. ¹⁴ Now, you brood of sinful men have risen up to take your fathers’ place, adding to the Lord’s blazing anger against Israel. ¹⁵ If you turn away from him again, he will leave you in the desert and you will have destroyed this entire people.”
