SEV Biblia, Chapter 11:15
Y si así lo haces tú conmigo, yo te ruego que me mates de repente, si he hallado gracia en tus ojos; y que yo no vea mi mal.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 15. And if thou deal thus with me , etc.] Let the whole weight of government lie upon me, and leave the alone to bear it: kill me, I pray thee, out of hand ; take me out of the world at once, or “kill me now, in killing” f128 ; dispatch me immediately, and make a thorough end of me directly: if I have found favour in thy sight ; if thou hast any love for me, or art willing to show me a kindness, to remove me by death, I shall take as one: and let me not see my wretchedness ; or live to be the unhappy man I shall be; pressed with such a weight of government, affected and afflicted with the wants of a people I cannot relieve, or seeing them bore down with judgments and punishments inflicted on them for their sins and transgressions I am not able to prevail upon them to abstain from: so the Targum of Jerusalem, “that I may not see their evil, who are thy people;” so Abendana, and in the margin of some Hebrew copies, it is read, “this is one of the eighteen words, the correction of the scribes;” who, instead of “my wretchedness” or evil, corrected it, “their wretchedness” or evil; but Aben Ezra says there is no need of this correction.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 10-15 - The provocation was very great; yet Moses expressed himself otherwis than became him. He undervalued the honour God had put upon him. He magnified his own performances, while he had the Divine wisdom to direct him, and Almighty power to dispense rewards and punishments. He speaks distrustfully of the Divine grace. Had the work been much les he could not have gone through it in his own strength; but had it bee much greater, through God strengthening him, he might have done it. Le us pray, Lord, lead us not into temptation.
