5  But with many of them ^aGod was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

  30  And notwithstanding they being led, the Lord their God, their Redeemer, going before them, leading them by day and giving light unto them by night, and doing all things for them which were expedient for man to receive, they hardened their hearts and blinded their minds, and ^creviled against Moses and against the true and living God.

  14  But behold, the Jews were a stiffnecked people; and they ^bdespised the words of plainness, and killed the prophets, and sought for things that they could not understand. Wherefore, because of their blindness, which blindness came by looking beyond the mark, they must needs fall; for God hath taken away his plainness from them, and delivered unto them many things which they cannot understand, because they desired it. And because they desired it God hath done it, that they may stumble.

  29  Your carcases shall fall in this ^bwilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, which have murmured against me,

  65  For the Lord had said of them, They shall surely die in the ^awilderness. And there was not left a man of them, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
