Deuteronomy 1:42-44

Revised Geneva Translation

⁴² “But the LORD said to me, ‘Say to them, “Do not go up and fight, for I am not among you, lest you fall before your enemies.’

⁴³ “And when I told you, you would not hear, but rebelled against the Commandment of the LORD, and were presumptuous, and went up into the mountain.

⁴⁴ “Then the Amorites, who dwelt in that mountain, came out against you and chased you (as bees used to do) and destroyed you from Seir to Hormah.
