Exodus 18:17 in Context — Exodus 18
15 Y Moisés respondió á su suegro: Porque el pueblo viene á mí para consultar á Dios:
16 Cuando tienen negocios, vienen á mí; y yo juzgo entre el uno y el otro, y declaro las ordenanzas de Dios y sus leyes.
17 Entonces el suegro de Moisés le dijo: No haces bien:
18 Desfallecerás del todo, tú, y también este pueblo que está contigo; porque el negocio es demasiado pesado para ti; no podrás hacerlo tú solo.
19 Oye ahora mi voz, yo te aconsejaré, y Dios será contigo. Está tú por el pueblo delante de Dios, y somete tú los negocios á Dios.
