Deuteronomy 1:40-42

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁴⁰ But return you and go into the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea.

⁴¹ And you answered me: We have sinned against the Lord: we will go up and fight, as the Lord our God hath commanded. And when you went ready armed unto the mountain,

⁴² The Lord said to me: Say to them: Go not up, and fight not, for I am not with you: lest you fall before your enemies.
