Deuteronomy 1:43-45 NIV

[43] So I told you, but you would not listen. You rebelled against the LORD’s command and in your arrogance you marched up into the hill country. [44] The Amorites who lived in those hills came out against you; they chased you like a swarm of bees and beat you down from Seir all the way to Hormah. [45] You came back and wept before the Lord, but he paid no attention to your weeping and turned a deaf ear to you.
