Behold, your days to die have approached: Moshe said in front of the Holy One, blessed be He, "Master of the Universe, With the word that I complemented You - as I said, 'Behold, to the Lord, your God, is the Heavens and the Heavens of the Heavens' (Deuteronomy 10:14) - You are shaming me?" Said the Holy One, blessed be He, to him, "You are similar to a bad neighbor who sees what comes in [the house], but does not see what goes out. So did you say about my children, 'Behold, the Children of Israel will not listen to me' (Exodus 6:12) - and you put out slander about My children."
הֵן קָרְבוּ יָמֶיךָ לָמוּת. אָמַר מֹשֶׁה לִפְנֵי הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא, רִבּוֹנוֹ שֶׁל עוֹלָם, בַּדָּבָר שֶׁקִּלַּסְתִּיךָ שֶׁאָמַרְתִּי, הֵן לַה' אֱלֹהֶיךָ הַשָּׁמַיִם וּשְׁמֵי הַשָּׁמַיִם וְגוֹ' (דברים י, יד), אַתָּה מַקְנִיטֵנִי. אָמַר לוֹ הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא לְמֹשֶׁה, אַתָּה דּוֹמֶה, לְשָׁכֵן רַע שֶׁרוֹאֶה אֶת הַנִּכְנָסוֹת וְאֵינוֹ רוֹאֶה אֶת הַיּוֹצְאוֹת. כָּךְ אָמַרְתָּ עַל בָּנַי, הֵן בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לֹא שָׁמְעוּ אֵלַי (שמות ו, יב), וְהוֹצֵאתָ לַעַז עַל בָּנַי.
