I am not sending you to some foreign people whose language you cannot understand.

Look, I'm not sending you to a people who speak a hard-to-learn language with words you can hardly pronounce.

For you are not sent to a people whose talk is strange and whose language is hard, but to the children of Israel;

For you are not sent to a people of obscure speech and difficult language, but to the house of Israel—

"For you are not sent to a people of unfamiliar speech and of hard language, but to the house of Israel,

For you are not being sent to a people of unintelligible speech ¹  and difficult language, ²  but ³  to the house of Israel –
