We read in Numbers 21:4-5 that after the children of Israel defeated the Canaanites in Hormah (Num. 21:1-3), they became discouraged and again complained against God and Moses.

Proverbs 13:15 says, “The way of transgressors is hard.” Proverbs 14:14 says, “The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself.” Some people speak against God because of the
difficult way, even though it is the way they have chosen.
