Numbers 11:13-23
Where can I get meat to give all these people? For they are weeping to me,‘ Give us meat to eat!’I can’t carry all these people by myself. They are too much for me.If you are going to treat me like this, please kill me right now if I have found favor with you, and don’t let me see my misery anymore.”The LORD answered Moses,“ Bring me seventy men from Israel known to you as elders and officers of the people. Take them to the tent of meeting and have them stand there with you.Then I will come down and speak with you there. I will take some of the Spirit who is on you and put the Spirit on them. They will help you bear the burden of the people, so that you do not have to bear it by yourself.“ Tell the people: Consecrate yourselves in readiness for tomorrow, and you will eat meat because you wept in the LORD’s hearing,‘ Who will feed us meat? We were better off in Egypt.’ The LORD will give you meat and you will eat.You will eat, not for one day, or two days, or five days, or ten days, or twenty days,but for a whole month— until it comes out of your nostrils and becomes nauseating to you— because you have rejected the LORD who is among you, and wept before him,‘ Why did we ever leave Egypt?’”But Moses replied,“ I’m in the middle of a people with six hundred thousand foot soldiers, yet you say,‘ I will give them meat, and they will eat for a month.’If flocks and herds were slaughtered for them, would they have enough? Or if all the fish in the sea were caught for them, would they have enough?”The LORD answered Moses,“ Is the LORD’s arm weak? Now you will see whether or not what I have promised will happen to you.”

Jeremiah 32:16-27
“ After I had given the purchase agreement to Baruch, son of Neriah, I prayed to the LORD:Oh, Lord GOD! You yourself made the heavens and earth by your great power and with your outstretched arm. Nothing is too difficult for you!You show faithful love to thousands but lay the fathers’ iniquity on their sons’ laps after them, great and mighty God whose name is the LORD of Armies,the one great in counsel and powerful in action. Your eyes are on all the ways of the children of men in order to reward each person according to his ways and as the result of his actions.You performed signs and wonders in the land of Egypt and still do today, both in Israel and among all mankind. You made a name for yourself, as is the case today.You brought your people Israel out of Egypt with signs and wonders, with a strong hand and an outstretched arm, and with great terror.You gave them this land you swore to give to their ancestors, a land flowing with milk and honey.They entered and possessed it, but they did not obey you or live according to your instructions. They failed to perform all you commanded them to do, and so you have brought all this disaster on them.Look! Siege ramps have come against the city to capture it, and the city, as a result of the sword, famine, and plague, has been handed over to the Chaldeans who are fighting against it. What you have spoken has happened. Look, you can see it!Yet you, Lord GOD, have said to me,‘ Purchase the field and call in witnesses’— even though the city has been handed over to the Chaldeans!”The word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:“ Look, I am the LORD, the God over every creature. Is anything too difficult for me?

2 Chronicles 20 15-2 Chronicles 20 20
and he said,“ Listen carefully, all Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and King Jehoshaphat. This is what the LORD says:‘ Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast number, for the battle is not yours, but God’s.Tomorrow, go down against them. You will see them coming up the Ascent of Ziz, and you will find them at the end of the valley facing the Wilderness of Jeruel.You do not have to fight this battle. Position yourselves, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD. He is with you, Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid or discouraged. Tomorrow, go out to face them, for the LORD is with you.’”Then Jehoshaphat knelt low with his face to the ground, and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell down before the LORD to worship him.Then the Levites from the sons of the Kohathites and the Korahites stood up to praise the LORD God of Israel shouting loudly.In the morning they got up early and went out to the wilderness of Tekoa. As they were about to go out, Jehoshaphat stood and said,“ Hear me, Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem. Believe in the LORD your God, and you will be established; believe in his prophets, and you will succeed.”
