Exodus 18:18-20
1599 Geneva Bible
18 Thou both [a]weariest thyself greatly, and this people that is with thee: for the thing is too heavy for thee: (A)thou art not able to do it thyself alone.
19 Hear now my [b]voice, (I will give thee counsel, and God shall be with thee) be thou for the people to [c]Godward, and report thou the causes unto God,
20 And admonish them of the ordinances, and of the laws, and show them the way, wherein they must walk, and the work that they must do.
