17 What kind of return is this for the favors I granted you?^[a] When you were hungry and thirsty in the wilderness, you called out to me,

2 Esdras 1:17 In-Context

15 The Lord says this: The quails were a sign for you. I gave you safe places to camp, and there you grumbled.

16 I sank your pursuer along with his army, and yet the people grumble about their own destruction.

17 What kind of return is this for the favors I granted you? When you were hungry and thirsty in the wilderness, you called out to me,

18 "Why did you lead us into this wilderness to kill us? It would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in this desert."

19 Therefore, I felt sorry for your groans. I gave you manna, and you ate.
