Numbers 14:28-35

28 Say to them, ‘ ^aAs I live,’ declares the Lord, ‘just as ^byou have spoken in My hearing, so I will do to you; 29 ^cyour dead bodies will fall in this wilderness, all ^dyour ^{▼▼Lit mustered}numbered men according to your complete number from twenty years old and upward, who have grumbled against Me. 30 By no means will you come into the land where I ^{▼▼Lit raised My hand}swore to settle you, ^gexcept for Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun. 31 ^hYour children, however, whom you said would become plunder--I will bring them in, and they will know the land which you have rejected. 32 ⁱBut as for you, your dead bodies will fall in this wilderness. 33 Also, your sons will be shepherds in the wilderness for ^jforty years, and they will ^{▼▼Lit bear}suffer for your unfaithfulness, until your bodies perish in the wilderness. 34 In accordance with the ^lnumber of days that you spied out the land, forty days, for every day you shall suffer the punishment for your ^{▼▼Or wrongdoings}guilt a year, that is, forty years, and you will know My opposition. 35 ⁿI, the Lord, have spoken, I certainly will do this to all this evil congregation who are gathered together against Me. They shall be worn out in this wilderness, and there they shall die.’”
