Exodus 18:18-20

New Catholic Bible

¹⁸ You will surely wear yourself out, you and the people with you, because this job is too difficult for you. You cannot do it alone. ¹⁹ Now, listen to me. I wish to give you some advice, and God be with you. You must act as the people’s representative before God and bring their cases before him. ²⁰ You will explain the decrees and the laws to them. You will direct them along the way that they should go and teach the things that they must do.
