unbelief to murmuring is a short and natural step; they even fell to weeping when
they had the best ground for rejoicing. Grumbling is a great sin and not a mere
weakness; it contains within itself unbelief, pride, rebellion, and a whole
host of sins. It is a home sin, and is generally practiced by complainers in their tents; but it is just as evil there as in the streets, and will be
quite as grievous to the Lord. And hearkened not unto the voice of the Lord. Making a din with their own
voices, they refused attention to their best Friend. Murmurers are bad hearers.
