And the Lord heard it.
Critical comments can be destructive and damaging in the lives of other people.
And we who engage in the deadly practice of habitually criticizing others are guilty of a deep-rooted sin, the sin of pride. For this reason, the Bible teaches that criticism of others is very wrong, and leads to serious consequences. In Numbers 12 we read of Moses being criticized by his brother, Aaron, and his sister, Miriam. Moses had married a woman of another race, and Miriam and Aaron criticized his choice of a wife. We don't know exactly whether the Cushite woman was from Africa or Asia.
