Deuteronomy 1:31-36 Common English Bible (CEB)

31. and as you saw him do in the desert. Throughout your entire journey, until you reached this very place, the Lord your God has carried you just as a parent carries a child.

32. But you had no faith in the Lord your God about this matter,

33. even though he went ahead of you, scouting places where you should camp, in fire by night, so you could see the road you were taking, and in cloud during the daytime.

34. The Lord heard what you said. He was angry and he swore:

35. Not even one of these people—this wicked generation!—will see the wonderful land that I promised to give to your ancestors.

36. The only exception is Caleb, Jephunneh’s son. He will see it. I will give the land he walked on to him and his children for this reason: he was completely devoted to the Lord.(
