This is found in Numbers 32:23. Moses was talking to the children of Gad and Ruben, trying to encourage them to do the right thing by going to war and take what God had promised them, and run their enemies out of the land. They declared they would, and Moses told them if they did, they would be guiltless; however, if they did not (in other words, if they lied) they would be sinning by going back on their word and by disobedience. And he told them they would be found out, that is, found as liars. Lots of people take this scripture out of context and make it sound as though God is warning us this same thing will happen to us all. That can happen, but that was not the meaning.

Numbers 32:20-23

20And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will go armed before the LORD to war,

21And will go all of you armed over Jordan before the LORD, until he hath driven out his enemies from before him,

22And the land be subdued before the LORD: then afterward ye shall return, and be guiltless before the LORD, and before Israel; and this land shall be your possession before the LORD.

23But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out.
