Why are you angry with me,^[b] and why do you burden me with all these people?^{(B) 12} Did I conceive all these people? Did I give them birth so you should tell me, ‘Carry them at your breast, as a nursing mother carries a baby,’^(C) to the land that you swore to give their ancestors?^{(D) 13} Where can I get meat to give all these people? For they are weeping to me, ‘Give us meat to eat!’ ¹⁴ I can’t carry all these people by myself. They are too much for me. ¹⁵ If you are going to treat me like this, please kill me right now^(E) if I have found favor with you, and^(F) don’t let me see my misery^[c] anymore.”
