Hebrews 11:39

(Joshua–Malachi)

38The world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and mountains, and hid in caves and holes in the ground.39These were all commended for their faith, yet they did not receive what was promised.40God had planned something better for us, so that together with us they would be made perfect.
