Compare all
16 When they have aa difficulty, they come to me, and I judge between one and another; and I make known the statutes of God and His laws.”  
17 So Moses’ father-in-law said to him, “The thing that you do is not good.
18 Both you and these people who are with you will surely wear yourselves out. For this thing is too much for you; ayou are not able to perform it by yourself.  
19 Listen now to my voice; I will give you1 counsel, and God will be with you: Stand abefore God for the people, so that you may bbring the difficulties to God.  
20 And you shall ateach them the statutes and the laws, and show them the way in which they must walk and bthe work they must do.

Exodus 18:18

Thou wilt surely wear away - nabol tibbol , in wearing way, thou wilt wear away - by being thus continually employed, thou wilt soon become finally exhausted. And this people that is with thee; as if he had said, "Many of them are obliged to wait so long for the determination of their suit that their patience must be soon necessarily worn out, as there is no one to hear every cause but thyself."
