But Moses said before the Lord, “Since I speak with difficulty, ¹  why should Pharaoh listen to me?”

The mind that acts rashly will possess discernment ¹  and the tongue that stutters will speak with ease and clarity.

For I will give you the words ¹  along with the wisdom ²  that none of your adversaries will be able to withstand or contradict.

But Moses replied to ¹  the Lord, “If the Israelites did not listen to me, then ²  how will Pharaoh listen to me, since ³  I speak with difficulty?” ⁴ 

Then Moses said to the Lord, ¹  “O ²  my Lord, ³  I am not an eloquent man, ⁴  neither in the past ⁵  nor since you have spoken to your servant, for I am slow of speech and slow of tongue.” ⁶ 

I listened and my stomach churned; ¹  the sound made my lips quiver. My frame went limp, as if my bones were decaying, ²  and I shook as I tried to walk. ³  I long ⁴  for the day of distress to come upon ⁵  the people who attack us.
