Numbers 11:11-19

11 aMoses said to the Lord, “Why have you dealt ill with your servant? And why have I not found favor in your sight, that you lay the burden of all this people on me? 12Did I conceive all this people? Did I give them birth, that you should say to me, bCarry them in your bosom, as a cnurse carries a nursing child,’ to the land dthat you swore to give their fathers? 13 eWhere am I to get meat to give to all this people? For they weep before me and say, ‘Give us meat, that we may eat.’ 14 fI am not able to carry all this people alone; the burden is too heavy for me. 15If you will treat me like this, kill me at once, if I find favor in your sight, that I may not see my wretchedness.”

Elders Appointed to Aid Moses

16Then the Lord said to Moses, “Gather for me gseventy men of the elders of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people and hofficers over them, and bring them to the tent of meeting, and let them take their stand there with you. 17 iAnd I will come down and talk with you there. And jI will take some of the Spirit that is on you and put it on them, and kthey shall bear the burden of the people with you, so that you may not bear it yourself alone. 18And say to the people, lConsecrate yourselves for tomorrow, and you shall eat meat, for you have wept in the hearing of the Lord, saying, “Who will give us meat to eat? mFor it was better for us in Egypt.” Therefore the Lord will give you meat, and you shall eat. 19You shall not eat just one day, or two days, or five days, or ten days, or twenty days,

Jeremiah 6:11

11Therefore I am full of the wrath of the Lord;
nI am weary of holding it in.
o“Pour it out upon the children in the street,
and upon the gatherings of young men, also;
pboth husband and wife qshall be taken,
the elderly and the very aged.

Jeremiah 20:14-18

14 rCursed be the day
on which I was born!
The day when my mother bore me,
let it not be blessed!
15Cursed be the man who brought the news to my father,
“A son is born to you,”
smaking him very glad.
16Let that man be like tthe cities
that the Lord overthrew without pity;
ulet him hear a cry in the morning
and an alarm at noon,
17 vbecause he did not kill me in the womb;
so my mother would have been my grave,
and her womb forever great.
18 wWhy did I come out from the womb
xto see toil and sorrow,
and spend my days in shame?
