Numbers 16:13-15
1599 Geneva Bible
13 Is it a small thing that thou hast brought us out [a]of a land that floweth with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, except thou make thyself lord and ruler over us also?
14 Also thou hast not brought us unto a land that floweth with milk and honey, neither given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou [b]put out the eyes of these men? we will not come up.
15 Then Moses waxed very angry, and said unto the Lord, (A)Look not unto their offering: I have not taken so much as an ass from them, neither have I hurt any of them.

15 Then Moses became very angry(H) and said to the Lord, “Do not accept their offering. I have not taken so much as a donkey(I) from them, nor have I wronged any of them.”
