Numbers 32:13-15

New International Reader's Version

¹³ The Lord became very angry with Israel. He made them wander around in the desert for 40 years. They wandered until all the people who had done evil in his sight had died.

¹⁴ “Now here you are, you bunch of sinners! You have taken the place of your fathers. And you are making the Lord even angrier with Israel. ¹⁵ What if you turn away from following him? Then he’ll leave all these people in the desert again. And it will be your fault when they are destroyed.”
