17 And Moses' father-in-law said to him, The thing that you do [is] not good.

18 You will surely wear away, both you and this people that [is] with you. For this thing [is] too heavy for you; you are not able to perform it alone.

19 Listen now to my voice; I will give you counsel, and God will be with you. You be for the people toward God, that you may bring the causes to God.

20 And you shall teach them ordinances and laws, and shall make them know the way in which they must walk, and the work that they must do.

21 And you shall look out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness. And place [such] over them to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.

22 And let them judge the people at all times. And it shall be, every great matter they shall bring to you, but every small matter they shall judge. And make it easier for yourself, and they shall bear with you.

23 If you will do this thing, and God command you, then you shall be able to endure, and all this people shall also go to their place in peace.
