Deuteronomy 1:41-46 - Unsuccessful Conquest Of Canaan
41 "You replied and said to me, 'We have sinned against Yahweh, [and now] we will go up and fight according to all that Yahweh our God commanded us'; and [so] each man fastened on {his battle gear}, and you regarded [it] as easy to go up [into] the hill country.
42 So Yahweh said to me, 'Say to them, "You shall not go up, and you shall not fight because I am not in your midst; you will be defeated {before} your enemies." ' 43 So I spoke to you, but you did not listen; you rebelled against the {command of Yahweh}; you behaved presumptuously, and you went up into the hill country. 44 The Amorites living in the hill country went out {to oppose you} and chased you as [a swarm of] wild honey bees do; and [so] they {beat} you down in Seir as far as Hormah. 45 So you returned and wept {before Yahweh}; but Yahweh did not listen to your voice and did not pay [any] attention to you. 46 You stayed in Kadesh many days; such were the days that you stayed [there].
