12. Have I conceived all this people? Have I given them birth, that You should say to me, ‘Carry them in your bosom, as a nurse bears the nursing child,’ to the land which You swore to their fathers?
13. Where am I to get meat to give to all these people? For they weep to me, saying, ‘Give us meat, that we may eat.’
14. I am not able to bear all these people alone, because the burden is too heavy for me.
15. If You do this to me, please kill me at once, if I have found favor in Your eyes, and do not let me see my misery.”
