The lord heareth

Then Moses told Aaron, “Say to the entire Israelite community, ‘Come before the Lord, for He has heard your complaints.’”

“How long must I endure this evil community that keeps complaining about Me? I have heard the Israelites’ complaints that they make against Me.

But perceiving their thoughts, Jesus said, “Why are you thinking evil things in your hearts?

Therefore the Jews started complaining about Him because He said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.”

Nor should we complain as some of them did,

and were killed by the destroyer.

But against

The people then came to Moses and said, “We have sinned by speaking against the Lord and against you. Intercede with the Lord so that He will take the snakes away from us.” And Moses interceded for the people.

But the Lord told him, “Listen to the people and everything they say to you. They have not rejected you; they have rejected Me as their king.

For a fool speaks foolishness
and his mind plots iniquity.
He lives in a godless way
and speaks falsely about the Lord.
He leaves the hungry empty
and deprives the thirsty of drink.

Because your raging against Me
and your arrogance have reached My ears,
I will put My hook in your nose
and My bit in your mouth;
I will make you go back
the way you came.

“The one who welcomes you welcomes Me, and the one who welcomes Me welcomes Him who sent Me.

Whoever listens to you listens to Me. Whoever rejects you rejects Me. And whoever rejects Me rejects the One who sent Me.”

I assure you: Whoever receives anyone I send receives Me, and the one who receives Me receives Him who sent Me.”

So then, the one who resists the authority is opposing God’s command, and those who oppose it will bring judgment on themselves.

Therefore, the person who rejects this does not reject man, but God, who also gives you His Holy Spirit.
