Numbers 14:14-16

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁴ They will tell the inhabitants of this land about it. They have heard that you, the Lord, are in the midst of this people. You, the Lord, are seen face-to-face.^[a] Your cloud stands over them. You go before them in a pillar of cloud by day and in a pillar of fire by night. ¹⁵ If you killed these people, leaving no one, then the nations which have heard about your fame will say, ¹⁶ ‘Because the Lord was not able to bring these people into the land which he swore to them, he has slaughtered them in the wilderness.’
