nkjv - Numbers:11:11-17

nkjv@Numbers:11:11 @ So Moses said to the LORD, "Why have You afflicted Your servant? And why have I not found favor in Your sight, that You have laid the burden of all these people on me?

nkjv@Numbers:11:12 @ Did I conceive all these people? Did I beget them, that You should say to me, "Carry them in your bosom, as a guardian carries a nursing child,' to the land which You swore to their fathers?

nkjv@Numbers:11:13 @ 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.'

nkjv@Numbers:11:14 @ I am not able to bear all these people alone, because the burden is too heavy for me.

nkjv@Numbers:11:15 @ If You treat me like this, please kill me here and now--if I have found favor in Your sight--and do not let me see my wretchedness!"

nkjv@Numbers:11:16 @ So the LORD said to Moses: "Gather to Me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people and officers over them; bring them to the tabernacle of meeting, that they may stand there with you.

nkjv@Numbers:11:17 @ Then I will come down and talk with you there. I will take of the Spirit that is upon you and will put the same upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with you, that you may not bear it yourself alone.
