Exodus 18:15-19 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

15. Moses answered him. He said, "The people come to me to find out what God wants them to do.

16. Anytime they don't agree, they come to me. I decide between them. I tell them about God's rules and laws."

17. Moses' father-in-law replied, "What you are doing isn't good.

18. You will just get worn out. And so will these people who come to you. There's too much work for you. You can't possibly handle it by yourself.

19. "Listen to me. I'll give you some advice, and may God be with you. You must speak to God for the people. Take their problems to him.
