Deuteronomy 9:23-25

New Catholic Bible

²³ Then when the Lord sent you forth from Kadesh-barnea, saying to you, “Go up and take possession of the land that I have given to you,” you despised the command of the Lord, your God. You did not trust him nor listen to his voice. ²⁴ You have despised the Lord from the first day that I knew you.

²⁵ I fell down and lay prostrate before the Lord for forty days and forty nights because the Lord said that he was going to destroy you.
