^{12 Ref} Have I conceived all this people? have I brought them forth, that you should tell me, Carry them in your bosom, as a nursing-father carries the sucking child, to the land which you swore to their fathers?

^{13 Ref} Whence should I have flesh to give to all this people? for they weep to me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.

^{14 Ref} I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me.

^{15 Ref} If you deal thus with me, please kill me out of hand, if I have found favor in your sight; and let me not see my wretchedness.
