The Lord's Penalty of the Disobedient

The lord said to moses and to aaron, how long shall this wicked congregation and murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the sons of israel. Say to them, as i live, says the lord, what you have said in my hearing, i will do to you. Your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness. Yeu shall bear your iniquity forty years. And you shall know my displeasure. Surely this will i do to all this wicked generation that are gathered together against me"? The men who brought up an evil report of the land died by plague before the lord.
