Numbers 14:27

Israel
Discouragement and depressionDoubtPatience

25 Now since the Amalekites and Canaanites are living in the valleys, turn back tomorrow and head for the wilderness along the route to the Red Sea.”

26 Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,

“How long will this wicked congregation grumble against Me? I have heard the complaints that the Israelites are making against Me.

28 So tell them: As surely as I live, declares the LORD, I will do to you exactly as I heard you say.

29 Your bodies will fall in this wilderness—all who were numbered in the census, everyone twenty years of age or older—because you have grumbled against Me.
