New American Standard Bible
39Now when Moses spoke these words to all the sons of Israel, the people mourned greatly.
40In the morning, however, they got up early and went up to the ridge of the hill country, saying, 'Here we are; and we will go up to the place which the Lord has promised, for we have sinned.'
41But Moses said, 'Why then are you violating the command of the Lord, when doing so will not succeed?
42Do not go up, for the Lord is not among you, to prevent you from being defeated by your enemies.

38But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of the men that went to search the land, lived still. 39And Moses told these sayings unto all the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly. 40And they rose up early in the morning, and gat them up into the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we be here, and will go up unto the place which the LORD hath promised: for we have sinned. 41And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment of the LORD? but it shall not prosper. 42Go not up, for the LORD is not among you; that ye be not smitten before your enemies.Christian Standard Bible
