Deuteronomy 1:42-44

Expanded Bible

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 [rebelled against] the Lord’s command. You were ·proud [presumptuous], so you went on up into the mountains, ⁴⁴ and the Amorites who lived in those mountains came out and fought you. They ·chased [swarmed over] you like bees and ·defeated [^Lstruck] you from ·Edom [^LSeir; ^Canother name for Edom] to Hormah [Num. 14:39–45].
