Exodus 4:10–12

10 But Moses said to the Lord, “Oh, my Lord, jI am not eloquent, either in the past or since you have spoken to your servant, but I am slow of speech and of tongue.” 11 Then the Lord said to him, “Who has made man’s mouth? Who makes him mute, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Is it not I, the Lord? 12 Now therefore go, and kI will be lwith your mouth and teach you what you shall speak.”

“Do not say, ‘I am only a youth’;

for to all to whom I send you, you shall go,

and whatever I command you, kyou shall speak.

8  lDo not be afraid of them,

for I am mwith you to deliver you,

declares the Lord.”

9 Then the Lord put out his hand and ntouched my mouth. And the Lord said to me,

“Behold, oI have put my words in your mouth.
