³⁰ And Moses said to the Lord, My lips are unclean; how is it possible that Pharaoh will give me a hearing?

¹² And Moses, answering the Lord, said, See, the children of Israel will not give ear to me; how then will Pharaoh give ear to me, whose lips are unclean?

¹⁰ And Moses said to the Lord, O Lord, I am not a man of words; I have never been so, and am not now, even after what you have said to your servant: for talking is hard for me, and I am slow of tongue.

¹⁶ For if I am a preacher of the good news, I have no cause for pride in this; because I am forced to do so, for a curse is on me if I do not.

¹⁷ But if I do it gladly, I have a reward; and if not, I am under orders to do it.
