Numbers 14:40-44
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 14
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. 43For the Amalekites and the Canaanites will be there to confront you, and you will fall by the sword, since you have turned back from following the Lord. And the Lord will not be with you.' 44But they foolishly dared to go up to the ridge of the hill country; neither the ark of the covenant of the Lord nor Moses left the camp.King James Version
Chapter 14
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. 43For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned away from the LORD, therefore the LORD will not be with you. 44But they presumed to go up unto the hill top: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and Moses, departed not out of the camp.Christian Standard Bible
41But Moses responded, "Why are you going against the Lord's command? It won't succeed.
42Don't go, because the Lord is not among you and you will be defeated by your enemies.
43The Amalekites and Canaanites are right in front of you, and you will fall by the sword. The Lord won't be with you, since you have turned from following him."
New Living Translation
41But Moses said, 'Why are you now disobeying the Lord’s orders to return to the wilderness? It won’t work.
42Do not go up into the land now. You will only be crushed by your enemies because the Lord is not with you.
43When you face the Amalekites and Canaanites in battle, you will be slaughtered. The Lord will abandon you because you have abandoned the Lord.'
English Standard Version
Chapter 14
40And they rose early in the morning and went up to the heights of the hill country, saying, “Here we are. We will go up to the place that the LORD has promised, for we have sinned.” 41But Moses said, “Why now are you transgressing the command of the LORD, when that will not succeed? 42Do not go up, for the LORD is not among you, lest you be struck down before your enemies. 43For there the Amalekites and the Canaanites are facing you, and you shall fall by the sword. Because you have turned back from following the LORD, the LORD will not be with you.” 44But they presumed to go up to the heights of the hill country, although neither the ark of the covenant of the LORD nor Moses departed out of the camp.New International Version
41But Moses said, 'Why are you disobeying the LORD's command? This will not succeed!
42Do not go up, because the LORD is not with you. You will be defeated by your enemies,
43for the Amalekites and the Canaanites will face you there. Because you have turned away from the LORD, he will not be with you and you will fall by the sword.'
New King James Version
41And Moses said, “Now why do you transgress the command of the Lord? For this will not succeed.
42Do not go up, lest you be defeated by your enemies, for the Lord is not among you.
43For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and you shall fall by the sword; because you have turned away from the Lord, the Lord will not be with you.”
