Numbers 16:13-15
Living Bible
13 “Is it a small thing,” they mimicked,[a] “that you brought us out of lovely Egypt to kill us here in this terrible wilderness, and that now you want to make yourself our king? 14 What’s more, you haven’t brought us into the wonderful country you promised, nor given us fields and vineyards. Whom are you trying to fool? We refuse to come.”
15 Then Moses was very angry and said to the Lord, “Do not accept their sacrifices! I have never stolen so much as a donkey from them and have not hurt one of them.”

New International Version
13 Isn’t it enough that you have brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey(A) to kill us in the wilderness?(B) And now you also want to lord it over us!(C) 14 Moreover, you haven’t brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey(D) or given us an inheritance of fields and vineyards.(E) Do you want to treat these men like slaves[a]?(F) No, we will not come!(G)”
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.”
