Deuteronomy 1:43-45
New English Translation
43 I spoke to you, but you did not listen. Instead you rebelled against the Lord[a] and recklessly went up to the hill country. 44 The Amorite inhabitants of that area[b] confronted[c] you and chased you like a swarm of bees, striking you down from Seir as far as Hormah.[d] 45 Then you came back and wept before the Lord, but he[e] paid no attention to you whatsoever.[f]
