14
I provided light for you from a pillar of fire, and did great wonders among you. Yet you have forgotten me, says the Lord.
15
"Thus says the Lord Almighty: The quails were a sign to you; I gave you camps for your protection, and in them you complained.
16
You have not exulted in my name at the destruction of your enemies, but to this day you still complain.
17

18
saying, `Why hast thou led us into this wilderness to kill us? It would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in this wilderness.'
