Hebrews 11:15 in the World English Bible
If indeed they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, they would have had enough time to return.
Context
14 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.
15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.
16 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.
