Numbers 14:14 WBT

¹²  I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they.

¹³  And Moses said to the LORD, Then the Egyptians will hear [it], (for thou broughtest up this people in thy might from among them;)

¹⁴  And they will tell [it] to the inhabitants of this land: [for] they have heard that thou LORD [art] among this people, that thou LORD art seen face to face, and [that] thy cloud standeth over them, and [that] thou goest before them, by day-time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night.

¹⁵  Now [if] thou shalt kill [all] this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying,

¹⁶  Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into the land which he swore to them, therefore he hath slain them in the wilderness.
