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 put the burden of all this people on me? 12Was it I who conceived all this people? Or did I give birth to them, that You should say to me, ‘Carry them 3in your arms, as a 45nurse carries a nursing infant, to the land which 6You swore to their fathers’? 13Where am I to get meat to give to 7all this people? For they weep before me, saying, ‘Give us meat so that we may eat!’ 148I am not able to carry all this people by myself, because it is too 9burdensome for me. 1510So if You are going to deal with me this way, please kill me now, if I have found favor in Your sight, and do not let me see my misery.”
