I have no words for what the Israelites said in this short passage… just exasperation, I guess. This passage is found in pages 41-42 of my NKJV Bible, pages 53-54 of my NASB Bible, pages 92-93 of my VOICE copy, and pages 88-89 of my Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy.
Ok, maybe I can say something here: why did the Israelites question God’s goodness here? Like, I don’t understand… I guess they forgot about what He had just done for them the last several weeks… this is not good. It doesn’t help that God has been angry before and it puts ACTUAL understanding at risk, not to mention that He’s not only refusing to be a people-pleaser, but that also, goodness seems to be His last resort… idk. I thank God I can visit Santa Monica again, but I haven’t been out of state since I went there last time. But it doesn’t matter since the cost of living isn’t very good in a lot of places, and I’d rather not leave Gilbert since it’s a good home for me. But God’s main concern is people, so that’s really good 😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇
I’ll post something about the military threat in the rest of this chapter… this definitely doesn’t look good, but it’s not the Israelites’ fault someone’s trying to annihilate them.
