Deuteronomy 1:46
44 Then the Amorites who lived in the hills came out against you and chased you like a swarm of bees. They routed you from Seir all the way to Hormah.
45 And you returned and wept before the LORD, but He would not listen to your voice or give ear to you.
For this reason you stayed in Kadesh for a long time—a very long time.
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.
