Numbers 21:5-7

New International Version

⁵ they spoke against God^(A) and against Moses, and said, “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt^(B) to die in the wilderness?^(C) There is no bread! There is no water!^(D) And we detest this miserable food!”^(E)

⁶ Then the Lord sent venomous snakes^(F) among them; they bit the people and many Israelites died.^{(G) 7} The people came to Moses^(H) and said, “We sinned^(I) when we spoke against the Lord and against you. Pray that the Lord^(J) will take the snakes away from us.” So Moses prayed^(K) for the people.
