Deuteronomy
Deuteronomy 1:42–43
42But the LORD said to me, “Tell them not to go up and fight, for I am not with you to keep you from defeat by your enemies.”
43So I spoke to you, but you would not listen. You rebelled against the command of the LORD and presumptuously went up into the hill country.
