Numbers 11:10-15

10 Moses heard the people ^aweeping throughout their clans, everyone at the door of his tent. And the anger of the Lord blazed hotly, and Moses was displeased. 11 ^bMoses 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? 12 Did I conceive all this people? Did I give them birth, that you should say to me, ^c‘Carry them in your bosom, as a ^dnurse carries a nursing child,’ to the land ^ethat you swore to give their fathers? 13 ^fWhere 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 ^gI am not able to carry all this people alone; the burden is too heavy for me. 15 If you will treat me like this, kill me at once, if I find favor in your sight, that I may not see my wretchedness.”

Numbers 20:10-12

Moses Strikes the Rock

10 Then Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together before the rock, and he said to them, ^h“Hear now, you rebels: shall we bring water for you out of this rock?” 11 And Moses lifted up his hand and struck the rock with his staff twice, ⁱand water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their livestock. 12 And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Because ^jyou did not believe in me, ^kto uphold me as holy in the eyes of the people of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land that I have given them.”

Psalms 106:32-33

32 They ^langered him at the waters of Meribah,
and it went ill with Moses on their account,
33 for they ^mmade his spirit bitter, ^{▼▼Or they rebelled against God’s Spirit}
and he ^ospoke rashly with his lips.

2 Corinthians 11:5

5 Indeed, I consider that ^pI am not in the least inferior to these super-apostles.

2 Corinthians 12:11

Concern for the Corinthian Church

11 ^qI have been a fool! You forced me to it, for I ought to have been commended by you. For I was ^rnot at all inferior to these super-apostles, ^seven though I am nothing.

James 3:2-3

2 For ^twe all stumble in many ways. And if anyone does not stumble in what he says, ^uhe is a perfect man, ^vable also to bridle his whole body. 3 If we put ^wbits into the mouths of horses so that they obey us, we guide their whole bodies as well.
