Lexham English Bible
18 Surely you will wear out, both you and this people who are with you, because the thing is too difficult[a] for you. You are not able to do it alone. 19 Now listen to my voice; I will advise you, and may God be with you. You be for the people before God, and you bring the issues to God. 20 And you warn them of the rules and the instructions, and you make known to them the way in which they must walk and the work that they must do.
