¹⁷ Moses’ father-in-law said to him, “What you are doing is not good. ¹⁸ You will surely wear yourself out, both you, and these people who are with you, for this thing is too heavy for you. You are not able to do it by yourself. ¹⁹ Now listen to me, I will advise you, and may God be with you: You be a representative for the people to God so that you may bring their disputes to God.
