Numbers 14:12-19

[12] I will smite  them with the pestilence,  and disinherit  them, and will make  of thee a greater  nation  and mightier  [13] And Moses  said  unto the LORD,  shall hear  it, (for thou broughtest up  this people  in thy might  from among  [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  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,  [16] Because the LORD  was not  able  to bring  this people  into the land  which he sware  unto them, therefore he hath slain  them in the wilderness.  [17] And now, I beseech thee, let the power  of my Lord  be great,  according  as thou hast spoken,  saying,  [18] The LORD  is longsuffering,  and of great  mercy,  forgiving  iniquity  and transgression,  and by no means  the guilty, visiting  the iniquity  of the fathers  upon the children  unto the third  and fourth  [19] Pardon,  I beseech thee, the iniquity  of this people  according unto the greatness  of thy mercy,  and as thou hast forgiven  this people,  from Egypt  even until now.
