Uneasiness at our present state. Man never appears in a worse light than when he gives way to this disposition.

Let such remember, that discontent is a reflection on God's government; that it cannot alter the state of things, or make them better; that it is the source of the greatest misery; that it is an absolute violation of God's law, Hebrews 13:1-25 and that God has often punished it with the most signal judgments, Numbers 11:1-35; Psalms 107:1-43 :
