Exodus 17:2-4

International Standard Version

² The people quarreled with Moses: “Give us water to drink.”

Moses told them, “Why are you quarreling with me? Why are you testing the Lord?”

³ But the people were thirsty there for water, so they^[a] complained against Moses: “Why did you bring us up from Egypt to kill us, our children, and our livestock with thirst?”

⁴ So Moses cried out to the Lord: “What am I to do with these people? Just a little more and they’ll stone me.”
