Did I beget them, that You should say to me, ^(A)‘Carry them in your bosom, as a ^(B)guardian carries a nursing child,’ to the land which You ^(C)swore^[a] to their fathers? ^13 (D)Where am I to get meat to give to all these people? For they weep all over me, saying, ‘Give us meat, that we may eat.’ ^14 (E)I am not able to bear all these people alone, because the burden is too heavy for me.
