Exodus 5:22-23
22Then Moses turned to the Lord and said, “O Lord, why have you done evil to this people? Why did you ever send me? 23For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in your name, he has done evil to this people, and you have not delivered your people at all.”Numbers 11:11-15
11 aMoses said to the Lord, “Why have you dealt ill with your servant? And why have I not found favor in your sight, that you lay the burden of all this people on me? 12Did I conceive all this people? Did I give them birth, that you should say to me, b‘Carry them in your bosom, as a cnurse carries a nursing child,’ to the land dthat you swore to give their fathers? 13 eWhere am I to get meat to give to all this people? For they weep before me and say, ‘Give us meat, that we may eat.’ 14 fI am not able to carry all this people alone; the burden is too heavy for me. 15If you will treat me like this, kill me at once, if I find favor in your sight, that I may not see my wretchedness.”Jeremiah 1:6-8
6Then I said, “Ah, Lord God! Behold, gI do not know how to speak, hfor I am only a youth.” 7But the Lord said to me,“Do not say, ‘I am only a youth’;
for to all to whom I send you, you shall go,
and iwhatever I command you, you shall speak.
8 jDo not be afraid of them,
kfor I am with you to deliver you,
declares the Lord.”
Jeremiah 1:18-19
18And I, behold, I make you this day la fortified city, man iron pillar, and nbronze walls, against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, its officials, its priests, and the people of the land. 19 oThey will fight against you, but they shall not prevail against you, for pI am with you, declares the Lord, to deliver you.”Jeremiah 15:18
18Why is my pain unceasing,qmy wound incurable,
refusing to be healed?
Will you be to me rlike a deceitful brook,
like waters that fail?
Jeremiah 17:16
16I have not run away from being your shepherd,nor have I desired the day of sickness.
sYou know twhat came out of my lips;
it was before your face.
