Numbers 14:11–12
11And the LORD said to Moses, “How long will this people treat Me with contempt? How long will they refuse to believe in Me, despite all the signs I have performed among them? 12I will strike them with a plague and destroy them — and I will make you into a nation greater and mightier than they are.”
