16 You shall not go around as a slanderer among your people, and you shall not stand up against the life¹ of your neighbor: I am the Lord.

The People Complain

1 And the people ^acomplained ^bin the hearing of the Lord about their misfortunes, and when the Lord heard it, his anger was kindled, and the fire of the Lord burned among them and consumed some outlying parts of the camp.

14 Do all things ^wwithout grumbling or ^xdisputing,

9 Do not grumble against one another, brothers, ^aso that you may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing at the door.
