Numbers 11:10-15

New King James Version

¹⁰ Then Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, everyone at the door of his tent; and ^(A)the anger of the Lord was greatly aroused; Moses also was displeased. ^11 (B)So Moses said to the Lord, “Why have You afflicted Your servant? And why have I not found favor in Your sight, that You have laid the ^[a]burden of all these people on me? ¹² Did I conceive all these people? Did I beget them, that You should say to me, ^(C)‘Carry them in your bosom, as a ^(D)guardian carries a nursing child,’ to the land which You ^(E)swore^[b] to their fathers? ^13 (F)Where am I to get meat to give to all these people? For they weep all over me, saying, ‘Give us meat, that we may eat.’ ^14 (G)I am not able to bear all these people alone, because the burden is too heavy for me. ¹⁵ If You treat me like this, please kill me here and now—if I have found favor in Your sight—and ^(H)do not let me see my wretchedness!”
