³⁵ I the Lord have said it, and this I will certainly do to all this evil people who have come together against me: in this waste land destruction will come on them, and death will be their fate.

¹⁹ God is not a man, to say what is false; or the son of man, that his purpose may be changed: what he has said, will he not do? and will he not give effect to the words of his mouth?

²⁷ How long am I to put up with this evil people and their outcries against me? The words which they say against me have come to my ears.

²⁸ Say to them, By my life, says the Lord, as certainly as your words have come to my ears, so certainly will I do this to you:

²⁹ Your dead bodies will be stretched out in this waste land; and of all your number, all those of twenty years old and over who have been crying out against me,

⁶⁵ For the Lord had said of them, Death will certainly overtake them in the waste land. And of them all, only Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua, the son of Nun, were still living.

⁵ But with most of them God was not pleased: for they came to their end in the waste land.

¹¹ Now these things were done as an example; and were put down in writing for our teaching, on whom the last days have come.

¹⁹ So we see that they were not able to go in because they had no belief.
