Deuteronomy 1:41-45

41— And ye answered and said unto me, We have sinned against Jehovah, we will go up and fight, according to all that Jehovah our 1God hath commanded us. And ye girded on every man his weapons of war, and ye would go presumptuously up the hill.

42And Jehovah said to me, Say unto them, Go not up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies.

43And I spoke unto you, but ye would not hear, and ye rebelled against the word of Jehovah, and acted presumptuously, and went up the hill.

44And the Amorite that dwelt on that hill came out against you, and chased you, like as bees do, and cut you in pieces in Seir, as far as Hormah.

45And ye returned and wept before Jehovah, but Jehovah would not listen to your voice, nor give ear unto you.
