Numbers 11:11-15

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹¹ And Moses said to the Lord, Why have You dealt ill with Your servants? And why have I not found favor in Your sight, that You lay the burden of all this people on me?

¹² Have I conceived all this people? Have I brought them forth, that You should say to me, Carry them in your bosom, as a nursing father carries the sucking child, to the land which You swore to their fathers [to give them]?

¹³ Where should I get meat to give to all these people? For they weep before me and say, Give us meat, that we may eat.

¹⁴ I am not able to carry all these people alone, because the burden is too heavy for me.

¹⁵ And if this is the way You deal with me, kill me, I pray You, at once, and be granting me a favor and let me not see my wretchedness [in the failure of all my efforts].
