What does the Bible say about speaking against God's servants?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible warns against speaking against God's servants, as seen in Numbers 12:8, where God questions why there is no fear of speaking against Moses.

In Numbers 12:8, God asks, 'Wherefore then were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?' This highlights the seriousness of speaking against those whom God has called and is using for His purposes. It demonstrates that criticism of God’s servants often stems from a heart filled with sin, such as envy or strife, rather than a genuine concern for holiness or doctrine. Such attitudes can lead to greater sin and division within the church, as illustrated by the progression of Miriam's and Aaron's criticism of Moses, which started as a dissent in the heart and escalated to open rebellion against God’s appointed leader. The underlying issue was their pride and desire for recognition, which God addressed harshly.
