The wholecongregationof the sonsof IsraelgrumbledagainstMosesand Aaronin the wilderness.
Beforethey laydown,the menof the city,the menof Sodom,surroundedthe house,bothyoungand old,allthe peoplefrom every quarter;
They quicklyforgotHis works;They did not waitfor His counsel,
But grumbledin their tents;They did not listento the voiceof the LORD.
Our fathersin Egyptdid not understandYour wonders;They did not rememberYour abundantkindnesses,But rebelledby the sea,at the RedSea.
Then they saidto Moses,"Is it becausetherewere nogravesin Egyptthat you have takenus away to diein the wilderness?Whyhave you dealtwith us in thisway,bringingus out of Egypt?
So the peoplegrumbledat Moses,saying,"Whatshall we drink?"
But the peoplethirstedtherefor water;and they grumbledagainstMosesand said,"Why,now,have you broughtus up from Egypt,to killus and our childrenand our livestockwith thirst?"
They saidto them, "May the LORDlookupon you and judge[you], for you have madeus odiousin Pharaoh'ssightand in the sightof his servants,to puta swordin their handto killus."
"Surelyallthe menwho have seenMy gloryand My signswhichI performedin Egyptand in the wilderness,yet have putMe to the testthesetentimesand have not listenedto My voice,
Norgrumble,as someof them did,and were destroyedby the destroyer.
