Numbers 14:27-34

27"How long shall this wicked congregation grumble against me? I have heard the grumblings of the people of Israel, which they grumble against me.

28Say to them, 'As I live, declares the Lord, what you have said in my hearing I will do to you:

29your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness, and of all your number, listed in the census from twenty years old and upward, who have grumbled against me,

30not one shall come into the land where I swore that I would make you dwell, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun.

31But your little ones, who you said would become a prey, I will bring in, and they shall know the land that you have rejected.

32But as for you, your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness.

33And your children shall be shepherds in the wilderness forty years and shall suffer for your faithlessness, until the last of your dead bodies lies in the wilderness.

34According to the number of the days in which you spied out the land, forty days, a year for each day, you shall bear your iniquity forty years, and you shall know my displeasure.'
