Exodus 17:2-4
17:2 So the people contended
with Moses, and they said, “Give us water to drink!”
Moses said to them, “Why do you contend
with me? Why do you test
the
Lord?”
17:3 But the people were very thirsty
there for water, and they murmured against Moses and said, “Why in the world
did you bring us up out of Egypt – to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?”
17:4 Then Moses cried out to the Lord, “What will I do with this people? – a little more and they will stone me!”
