Numbers 14:10-18

¹⁰And all the congregation bade stone them with stones; and the glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud on the tabernacle of witness to all the children of Israel.

¹¹And the Lord said to Moses, How long does this people provoke me? and how long do they refuse to believe me for all the signs which I have wrought amongst them?

¹²I will strike them with death, and destroy them; and I will make of you and of your father's house a great nation, and much greater than this.

¹³And Moses said to the Lord, So Egypt shall hear, for you have brought up this people from them by your might.

¹⁴Moreover all the dwellers upon this land have heard that you are Lord in the midst of this people, who, O Lord, are seen by them face to face, and your cloud rests upon them, and you go before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, and by night in a pillar of fire.

¹⁵And if you shall destroy this nation as one man; then all the nations that have heard your name shall speak, saying,

¹⁶Because the Lord could not bring this people into the land which he sware to them, he has overthrown them in the wilderness.

¹⁷And now, O Lord, let your strength be exalted, as you spoke, saying,

¹⁸The Lord is longsuffering and merciful, and true, removing transgressions and iniquities and sins, and he will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the sins of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation.
