Numbers 11:11
11:11 And Moses said to the
Lord, “Why have you afflicted
your servant? Why have I not found favor in your sight, that
you lay the burden of this entire people on me?
Numbers 16:22
16:22 Then they threw themselves down with their faces to the ground
and said, “O God, the God of the spirits of all people,
will you be angry with the whole community when only one man sins?”
Deuteronomy 9:18-20
9:18 Then I again fell down before the
Lord for forty days and nights; I ate and drank nothing because of all the sin you had committed, doing such evil before the
Lord as to enrage him.
9:19 For I was terrified at the
Lord’s intense anger
that threatened to destroy you. But he
listened to me this time as well.
9:20 The
Lord was also angry enough at Aaron to kill him, but at that time I prayed for him
too.
Psalms 74:1-2
Psalm 74
A well-written song by Asaph.
74:1 Why, O God, have you permanently rejected us?
Why does your anger burn against the sheep of your pasture?
74:2 Remember your people whom you acquired in ancient times,
whom you rescued so they could be your very own nation,
as well as Mount Zion, where you dwell!
Isaiah 63:17
63:17 Why, Lord, do you make us stray from your ways,
and make our minds stubborn so that we do not obey you?
Return for the sake of your servants,
the tribes of your inheritance!
Jeremiah 12:1-2
12:1 Lord, you have always been fair
whenever I have complained to you.
However, I would like to speak with you about the disposition of justice.
Why are wicked people successful?
Why do all dishonest people have such easy lives?
12:2 You plant them like trees and they put down their roots.
They grow prosperous and are very fruitful.
They always talk about you,
but they really care nothing about you.
