Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land that floweth with milk and honey, or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we will not come up.

Verse 14 is found in chapter 16 of Numbers. Korah, together with Dathan and Abiram, challenges the authority of Moses and Aaron. Their argument uses the holiness of the entire congregation to question the priestly distinction. Moses responds by proposing a test through which God will determine whom he has chosen. The conflict reveals how a partial truth about Israel’s holiness can be used to challenge responsibilities that God himself established.

Wie fein hast du uns gebracht in ein Land, darin Milch und Honig fließt, und hast uns Äcker und Weinberge zum Erbteil gegeben! Willst du den Leuten auch die Augen ausreißen? Wir kommen nicht hinauf.
Ni tampoco nos has metido tú en tierra que fluya leche y miel, ni nos has dado heredades de tierras y viñas: ¿has de arrancar los ojos de estos hombres? No subiremos.
Ni siquiera nos has traído a una tierra que fluye leche y miel, ni nos has dado una heredad de campos y viñedos. ¿Les sacarás los ojos a estos hombres? ¡No subiremos!».
Et ce n'est pas dans un pays où coulent le lait et le miel que tu nous as menés, ce ne sont pas des champs et des vignes que tu nous as donnés en possession. Penses-tu crever les yeux de ces gens? Nous ne monterons pas.
Ma, lasciamo che tu non ci abbi condotti in un paese stillante latte e miele, avessici data almeno qualche possessione di campi o di vigne! Pensi tu di abbacinar gli occhi di questi uomini? Noi non ci andremo.
Nem tampouco nos trouxeste a uma terra que mana leite e mel, nem nos deste campo e vinhas em herança; porventura arrancarás os olhos a estes homens? Não subiremos.
你根本沒有領我們到流奶與蜜之地,也沒有給我們田地和葡萄園作為產業。難道你想要挖這些人的眼睛嗎?我們不上去!」
