9 For when they went up unto the valley of Eshcol and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the sons of Israel that they should not go into the land which the Lord had given them.
10 And the Lord’s anger was kindled the same time, and he swore, saying,
11 Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swore unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they were not perfect in following me,
12 except Caleb, the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua, the son of Nun, for they were perfect in following the Lord.
13 And the Lord’s anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years until all the generation that had done evil in the sight of the Lord was consumed.
14 And, behold, ye are risen up in the place of your fathers, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the Lord toward Israel.
15 For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave you in the wilderness; and ye shall destroy all this people.
