³ Why does Yahweh bring us to this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will be a prey: wouldn't it be better for us to return into Egypt?

³¹ But your little ones, that you said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which you have rejected.

³² But as for you, your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness.

⁴⁰ How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness, And grieved him in the desert!

³ They bend their tongue, [as it were] their bow, for falsehood; and they are grown strong in the land, but not for truth: for they proceed from evil to evil, and they don't know me, says Yahweh.
