Deuteronomy 1:43-45

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁴³ Although I told you, you would not listen. You rebelled against the command of the Lord and presumptuously went up into the hill country. ⁴⁴ The Amorites who lived in that hill country then came out against you and chased you as bees do. They beat you down in Seir as far as Hormah. ⁴⁵ When you returned and wept before the Lord, the Lord would neither heed your voice nor pay you any attention.
