I alone am not able to bear your business, and the charge of you and your differences.
Not that we are sufficient to think any thing of ourselves, as of ourselves: but our sufficiency is from God.
To the one indeed the odour of death unto death: but to the others the odour of life unto life. And for these things who is so sufficient?
And I said to you at that time:
Thou are spent with foolish labour, both thou and this people that is with thee: the business is above thy strength. Thou alone canst not bear it.
(The Lord God of your fathers add to this number many thousands, and bless you as he hath spoken.)
Let me have from among you wise and understanding men, and such whose conversation is approved among your tribes, that I may appoint them your rulers.
