They were discouraged and dismayed, exactly what God tells us not to be:
“Be strong and of a good courage…Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right or to the left, that thou may prosper (be successful) whithersoever thou goest… have not I commanded thee?
