Deuteronomy 1:34
32 But in spite of all this, you did not trust the LORD your God,
33 who went before you on the journey, in the fire by night and in the cloud by day, to seek out a place for you to camp and to show you the road to travel.
When the LORD heard your words, He grew angry and swore an oath, saying,
35 “Not one of the men of this evil generation shall see the good land I swore to give your fathers,
36 except Caleb son of Jephunneh. He will see it, and I will give him and his descendants the land on which he has set foot, because he followed the LORD wholeheartedly.”
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
