But Moses said to the Lord,“ Since I speak with faltering lips, why would Pharaoh listen to me?”

But Moses said to the Lord,“ I don’t speak very well. So why would Pharaoh listen to me?”

But Moses said to the Lord,“ Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips. How will Pharaoh listen to me?”

But Moses replied in the LORD’s presence,“ Since I am such a poor speaker, how will Pharaoh listen to me?”

But Moses said before the Lord,“ Behold, I am unskilled in speech; how then will Pharaoh listen to me?”

But Moses said before the Lord,“ Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh heed me?”

And Moses said before Jehovah, Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh hearken unto me?

But Moses replied in the Lord’s presence,“ Since I am such a poor speaker, how will Pharaoh listen to me?”

But Moses said before the LORD,“ Since I speak with difficulty, why should Pharaoh listen to me?”

Moses said before Yahweh,“ Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh listen to me?”

“ But Lord!” Moses objected.“ My own people won’t listen to me anymore. How can I expect Pharaoh to listen? I’m such a clumsy speaker!”

But Moses pleaded with the Lord,“ O Lord, I’m not very good with words. I never have been, and I’m not now, even though you have spoken to me. I get tongue tied, and my words get tangled.”

Yet preaching the Good News is not something I can boast about. I am compelled by God to do it. How terrible for me if I didn’t preach the Good News!If I were doing this on my own initiative, I would deserve payment. But I have no choice, for God has given me this sacred trust.
