04:013:031 But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go
up against the people; for they are stronger than we.
04:013:032 And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had
searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land,
through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth
up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in
it are men of a great stature.
04:013:033 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of
the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and
so we were in their sight.
04:014:001 And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and
the people wept that night.
04:014:002 And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and
against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them,
Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God
we had died in this wilderness!
04:014:003 And wherefore hath the LORD brought us unto this land, to fall
by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a

04:014:009 Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye the people
of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence is

glory of the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of the
congregation before all the children of Israel.

provoke me? and how long will it be ere they believe me, for
all the signs which I have shewed among them?
04:014:012 I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them,
and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they.
