40

But as for you, go back, journeying into the waste land by the way of the Red Sea.

41

Then you said to me, We have done evil against the Lord, we will go up to the attack, as the Lord our God has given us orders. And arming yourselves every one, you made ready to go up without care into the hill-country.

42

And the Lord said to me, Say to them, Do not go up to the attack; for I am not among you, and you will be overcome by those who are against you.

43

This I said to you, but you gave no attention and went against the orders of the Lord, and in your pride went up into the hill-country.

And the Amorites who were in the hill-country came out against you and put you to flight, rushing after you like bees, and overcame you in Seir, driving you even as far as Hormah.

45

And you came back, weeping before the Lord; but the Lord gave no attention to your cries and did not give ear to you.

46

So you were kept waiting in Kadesh for a long time.
