New Catholic Bible

³⁵ I, the Lord, have proclaimed this. I will surely do this to this evil assembly that has gathered together against me. In this wilderness they will come to an end, there they will die.”

³⁶ The men whom Moses sent to explore the land, and who, when they returned, incited the assembly to complain against him by giving an evil report concerning the land, ³⁷ those men who brought the evil report concerning the land were struck down by a plague before the Lord.
