Exodus 17:2-4

Darby Translation

² And the people contended with Moses, and said, Give us water, that we may drink! And Moses said to them, Why do ye dispute with me? Why do ye tempt Jehovah?

³ And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Moses, and said, Why is it that thou hast brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?

⁴ And Moses cried to Jehovah, saying, What shall I do with this people? Yet a little, and they will stone me!
