27How long am I to put up with this evil people and their outcries against me? The words which they say against me have come to my ears.
28Say to them, By my life, says the Lord, as certainly as your words have come to my ears, so certainly will I do this to you:
29Your dead bodies will be stretched out in this waste land; and of all your number, all those of twenty years old and over who have been crying out against me,
30Not one will come into the land which I gave my word you would have for your resting-place, but only Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua, the son of Nun.
31And your little ones, whom you said would come into strange hands, I will take in, and they will see the land which you would not have.
32But as for you, your dead bodies will be stretched in this waste land.
33And your children will be wanderers in the waste land for forty years, undergoing punishment for your false ways, till your bodies become dust in the waste land.
