Bible verse
But Moses said, “Why are you transgressing the commandment of the LORD? This will not succeed!
Numbers 14:41 · BSB
The verses around it, from Numbers 14.
37 those men who had brought out the bad report about the land—were struck down by a plague before the LORD.
38 Of those men who had gone to spy out the land, only Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh remained alive.
39 And when Moses relayed these words to all the Israelites, the people mourned bitterly.
40 Early the next morning they got up and went up toward the ridge of the hill country. “We have indeed sinned,” they said, “but we will go to the place the LORD has promised.”
41 But Moses said, “Why are you transgressing the commandment of the LORD? This will not succeed!
42 Do not go up, lest you be struck down by your enemies, because the LORD is not among you.
43 For there the Amalekites and Canaanites will face you, and you will fall by the sword. Because you have turned away from the LORD, He will not be with you.”
44 But they dared to go up to the ridge of the hill country, though neither Moses nor the ark of the covenant of the LORD moved from the camp.
45 Then the Amalekites and Canaanites who lived in that part of the hill country came down, attacked them, and routed them all the way to Hormah.
