Numbers 11:11-15

111So Moses said to the Lord, “Why have You 2been so hard on Your servant? And why have I not found favor in Your sight, that You have laid the burden of all this people on me? 12Was it I who conceived all this people? Was it I who brought them forth, that You should say to me, ‘Carry them in your bosom as a 34nurse carries a nursing infant, to the land which 5You swore to their fathers’? 13Where am I to get meat to give to 6all this people? For they weep before me, saying, ‘Give us meat that we may eat!’ 147I alone am not able to carry all this people, because it is too 8burdensome for me. 159So if You are going to deal thus with me, please kill me at once, if I have found favor in Your sight, and do not let me see my wretchedness.”
