Then the whole Israelite community grumbled to Moses and Aaron in the desert.
Before bedtime, men both young and old and from every part of Sodom surrounded Lot’s house.
But they quickly forgot what he had done; they did not wait for his advice.
They grumbled in their tents and did not obey the Lord.
Our ancestors in Egypt did not learn from your miracles. They did not remember all your kindnesses, so they turned against you at the Red Sea.
They said to Moses, “What have you done to us? Why did you bring us out of Egypt to die in the desert? There were plenty of graves for us in Egypt.
The people grumbled to Moses and asked, “What will we drink?”
But the people were very thirsty for water, so they grumbled against Moses. They said, “Why did you bring us out of Egypt? Was it to kill us, our children, and our farm animals with thirst?”
So they said to Moses and Aaron, “May the Lord punish you. You caused the king and his officers to hate us. You have given them an excuse to kill us.”
All these people saw my glory and the miracles I did in Egypt and in the desert, but they disobeyed me and tested me ten times.
Do not complain as some of them did; they were killed by the angel that destroys.
