Deuteronomy 1:40-45

40But as for you, 1turn around and set out for the wilderness by the way to the 2Red Sea.’

41“3Then you said to me, ‘We have sinned against the Lord; we will indeed go up and fight, just as the Lord our God commanded us.’ And every man of you girded on his weapons of war, and regarded it as easy to go up into the hill country. 42 4And the Lord said to me, ‘Say to them, “Do not go up nor fight, for I am not among you; otherwise you will be 5defeated before your enemies.”’ 43So I spoke to you, but you would not listen. Instead 6you rebelled against the 7command of the Lord, and acted presumptuously and went up into the hill country. 44 8The Amorites who 9lived in that hill country came out against you and chased you 10as bees do, and crushed you from Seir to Hormah. 45Then you returned and wept before the Lord; but the 11Lord did not listen to your voice nor give ear to you.
