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.”
Then the LORD asked Moses,
“Who makes a person’s mouth?
Who decides whether people speak or do not speak,
hear or do not hear,
see or do not see?
Is it not I,
the LORD?
Now go!
I will be with you as you speak,
and I will instruct you in what to say.”
