New International Reader's Version

Deuteronomy 1:31-35 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

31. "You also saw how the Lord your God brought you through the desert. He carried you everywhere you went, just as a father carries his son. And now you have arrived here."

32. In spite of that, you didn't trust in the Lord your God.

33. He went ahead of you on your journey. He was in the fire at night and in the cloud during the day. He found places for you to camp. He showed you the way you should go.

34. The Lord heard what you said. So he became angry. He took an oath and made a promise. He said,

35. "I promised to give this good land to your people long ago. But not one of you evil men who are alive today will see it.
