"For fortyyearsI loathed[that] generation,And saidthey are a peoplewho errin their heart,And they do not knowMy ways.
Speak,"Thussaysthe LORD,'The corpsesof menwill falllike dungon the openfield,And like the sheafafterthe reaper,But noonewill gather[them].'"
"Surelyallthe menwho have seenMy gloryand My signswhichI performedin Egyptand in the wilderness,yet have putMe to the testthesetentimesand have not listenedto My voice,
"Sayto them, 'As I live,'saysthe LORD,'justas you have spokenin My hearing,soI will surely doto you;
your corpseswill fallin thiswilderness,even allyour numberedmen, according to your completenumberfrom twentyyearsoldand upward,whohave grumbledagainstMe.
