it's quite a memorable quote, i used the Good News Bible. the NIV puts it like this
"is that you, you troubler of Israel?"

i'm not 100% sure about this, but is it Sarah to Abraham? (Genesis 16:2) it seems almost the same.

Very close! It is actually in the chapter before 16 And it is Abram.... but he wasn't talking to Sarah.  |

hehe, I've found it. It's Genesis 15:3 and it's Abram to the Lord "Let me go back to my own people in Egypt to see if any of them are still alive." |
