And the next day all the congregation of the children of Israel grumbled against Moses and Aaron, saying, You have killed the people of Jehovah.

And the people grumbled against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?

And the whole congregation of the children of Israel grumbled against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness.

And the children of Israel said to them, Oh, that we had died at the hand of Jehovah in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the pots of flesh and when we ate bread to the full! For you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger.

And the people thirsted there for water, and the people grumbled against Moses, and said, Why is it you have brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our livestock with thirst?

and you murmured in your tents, and said, Because Jehovah hates us, He has brought us out of the land of Egypt to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.

Then they despised the pleasant land; they did not believe His Word,

and remembered His covenant toward them, and was moved to compassion according to the abundance of His mercies.

nor murmur, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed by the destroyer.

The carcasses of you who have grumbled against Me shall fall in this wilderness, all of you who were numbered, according to your entire number, from twenty years old and above.

Why did I not die from the womb? Why did I not expire when I came forth from the belly?

so that my soul chooses strangling and death rather than my body.

I loathe my life; I would not live forever. Let me alone, for my days are but a breath.

And now, O Jehovah, please take my life from me. For it is better for me to die than to live.

And it happened when the sun rose, that God appointed a scorching east wind; and the sun beat on Jonah's head, so that he fainted; and he begged for his soul to die. And he said, It is better for me to die than to live.
