“ Do not be angry, my lord,” Aaron answered.“ You know how prone these people are to evil.

And Aaron said,“ Let not the anger of my lord burn hot. You know the people, that they are set on evil.

“ Don’t get so upset, my lord,” Aaron replied.“ You yourself know how evil these people are.

“ Don’t be enraged, my lord,” Aaron replied.“ You yourself know that the people are intent on evil.

And Aaron said,“ Do not let the anger of my lord burn; you know the people yourself, that they are prone to evil.

So Aaron said,“ Do not let the anger of my Lord become hot. You know the people, that they are set on evil.

And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot: thou knowest the people, that they are set on evil.

“ Don’t be enraged, my lord,” Aaron replied.“ You yourself know that the people are intent on evil.

And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot: thou knowest the people, that they[ are set] on mischief.

Aaron said,“ Do not let your anger burn hot, my lord; you know these people, that they tend to evil.

Aaron said,“ Don’t let the anger of my lord grow hot. You know the people, that they are set on evil.

You have been refusing to obey the Lord as long as I’ve known you.

They said to Moses,“ Why did you bring us to the desert to die? Weren’t there any graves in Egypt? What have you done to us by bringing us out of Egypt?

Some of them didn’t pay any attention to Moses. They kept part of it until morning. But it was full of maggots and began to stink. So Moses became angry with them.

The people told Moses they weren’t happy with him. They said,“ What are we supposed to drink?”

Then Saul said to Samuel,“ I have sinned. I’ve broken the Lord’ s command. I haven’t done what you directed me to do. I was afraid of the men. So I did what they said I should do.

Here is something you must remember. Never forget it. You made the Lord your God angry in the desert. You refused to obey him from the day you left Egypt until you arrived here.

I know how you refuse to obey the Lord. I know how stubborn you are. You have refused to obey him while I’ve been living among you. So you will certainly refuse to obey him after I’m dead!

Sinners can’t rest until they do what is evil. They can’t sleep until they make someone sin.

Then the Lord spoke to Moses. He said,“ How long will all of you refuse to obey my commands and my teachings?

In the desert the whole community told Moses and Aaron they weren’t happy with them.The Israelites said to them,“ We wish the Lord had put us to death in Egypt. There we sat around pots of meat. We ate all the food we wanted. But you have brought us out into this desert. You must want this entire community to die of hunger.”Then the Lord spoke to Moses. He said,“ I will rain down bread from heaven for you. The people must go out each day. Have them gather enough bread for that day. Here is how I will test them. I will see if they will follow my directions.

So they argued with Moses. They said,“ Give us water to drink.” Moses replied,“ Why are you arguing with me? Why are you testing the Lord?”But the people were thirsty for water there. So they told Moses they weren’t happy with him. They said,“ Why did you bring us up out of Egypt? Did you want us, our children and our livestock to die of thirst?”Then Moses cried out to the Lord. He said,“ What am I going to do with these people? They are almost ready to kill me by throwing stones at me.”

Even as they lie in bed they make evil plans. They commit themselves to a sinful way of life. They never say no to what is wrong.
