27 “How long will these evil people complain about me? I have heard these Israelites’ grumbling and complaining.
28 So tell them, ‘This is what the Lord says. I heard what you said. As surely as I live, I will do those things to you.
29 You will die in this desert. Every one of you who is 20 years old or older and who was counted with the people will die. You complained against me, the Lord.
30 Not one of you will enter and live in the land I promised to you. Only Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun will go in.
31 You said that your children would be taken away. But I will bring them into the land. They will enjoy what you refused.
32 As for you, you will die in this desert.
33 Your children will be shepherds here for 40 years. They will suffer because you were not loyal. They will suffer until you lie dead in the desert.
