Deut 1:41-43 41 You spoke up, "We've sinned against GOD. We'll go up and fight, following all the orders that GOD, our God, has commanded." You took your weapons and dressed for battle — you thought it would be so easy going into those hills! 42 But GOD told me, "Tell them, 'Don't do it; don't go up to fight — I'm not with you in this. Your enemies will waste you.'" 43 I told you but you wouldn't listen. You rebelled at the plain word of GOD. You threw out your chests and strutted into the hills.
