Deuteronomy 1:39-41

Darby Translation

³⁹ And your little ones, of whom ye said, They shall be a prey, and your children, who this day know neither good nor evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess it.

⁴⁰ But ye, turn, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.

⁴¹ —And ye answered and said unto me, We have sinned against Jehovah, we will go up and fight, according to all that Jehovah our God hath commanded us. And ye girded on every man his weapons of war, and ye would go presumptuously up the hill.
