"For forty years I loathes that generation,This is obviously talking about the people of Moses' day. They were instructed to send scouts into the land, and those scouts said it couldn't be taken. They believed the scouts, rather than God's promises that they would win. As a result, they were not allowed to go into the land, and instead had to stay in the wilderness to the east until they all had died 40 years later.
And said they are a people who err in their heart,
And they do not know My ways.
It's odd to see God talking about loathing. Today, we all hear about how God loves all, and is pained that they do not accept Christ to be with Him. But either God doesn't always love all that way, or else love and loathing can coexist.
