Did I give birth to
them, that you should say to me, ‘Carry them in your arms, as a foster father
bears a nursing child,’ to the land which you swore to their fathers?
11:13 From where shall I get
meat to give to this entire people, for they cry to me, ‘Give us meat, that we may eat!’
11:14 I am not able to bear this entire people alone,
because it
is too heavy for me!
11:15 But if you are going to deal
with me like this, then kill me immediately.
If I have found favor in your sight then do not let me see my trouble.”
