Numbers 14:39-45
14:39 When Moses told
these things to all the Israelites, the people mourned
greatly.
14:40 And early in the morning they went up to the crest of the hill country, saying, “Here we are, and we will go up to the place that the Lord commanded, for we have sinned.”
14:41 But Moses said, “Why are you now transgressing the commandment of the Lord? It will not succeed!
14:42 Do not go up, for the Lord is not among you, and you will be defeated before your enemies.
14:43 For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and you will fall by the sword. Because you have turned away from the Lord, the Lord will not be with you.”
14:44 But they dared to go up to the crest of the hill, although neither the ark of the covenant of the Lord nor Moses departed from the camp.
14:45 So the Amalekites and the Canaanites who lived in that hill country swooped down and attacked them as far as Hormah.
Numbers 22:34
22:34 Balaam said to the angel of the
Lord, “I have sinned, for I did not know that you stood against me in the road.
So now, if it is evil in your sight,
I will go back home.”
Proverbs 19:3
19:3 A person’s folly subverts his way,
and his heart rages against the Lord.
