Deuteronomy 1:26-28

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁶ Yet you would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of the Lord your God.

²⁷ You were peevish and discontented in your tents, and said, Because the Lord hated us, He brought us forth out of the land of Egypt to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites to destroy us.

²⁸ To what are we going up? Our brethren have made our hearts melt, saying, The people are bigger and taller than we are; the cities are great and fortified to the heavens. And moreover we have seen the [giantlike] sons of the Anakim there.
