27How long [shall I bear] with this evil congregation, that murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me.
28Tell them, As I live, says Yahweh, surely as you have spoken in my ears, so will I do to you:
29your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness; and all who were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, who have murmured against me,
30surely you shall not come into the land, concerning which I swore that I would make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
31But your little ones, that you said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which you have rejected.
32But as for you, your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness.
