Exodus 18:14-18

Now when Moses’ father-in-law saw all that he was doing for the people, he said, “What is this thing that you are doing for the people? Why do you alone sit as judge and all the people stand before you from morning until evening?”

Moses said to his father-in-law, “Because the people come to me to inquire of God.

When they have a dispute, it comes to me, and I judge between someone and his neighbor and make known the statutes of God and His laws.”

Moses’ father-in-law then said to him, “The thing that you are doing is not good.

You will surely wear out, both yourself and these people who are with you, because the task is too heavy for you; you cannot do it alone.
