“Why did you send me?”

“Now you will see what I will do to Pharaoh: Because of my mighty hand he will let them go; because of my mighty hand he will drive them out of his country?”

“How then shall Pharaoh hear me, who am of uncircumcised lips?”

“I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh hearken unto me?”

“Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, How long wilt thou refuse to humble thyself before me?”

“You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself?”

“Go down, because your people, whom you brought up out of Egypt, have become corrupt?”

“LORD, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand?”

“Is not this the blood of the men that went in jeopardy of their lives?”

“But these sheep, what have they done?”

“For who is able to judge this thy so great a people?”

“Will God indeed dwell on the earth?”

“Since this is your attitude and you have not kept my covenant and my decrees, which I commanded you, I will most certainly tear the kingdom away from you?”

“Who am I, O LORD God, and what is mine house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?”

“What one nation in the earth is like thy people Israel, whom God went to redeem to be his own people, to make thee a name of greatness and terribleness, by driving out nations from before thy people, whom thou hast redeemed out of Egypt?”

“Is it not I that commanded the people to be numbered?”

“Who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort?”

“For who can judge this thy people, that is so great?”

“Will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth?”

“Who shall entice Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead ?”

“O our God, wilt thou not judge them?”

“Now, O our God, what shall we say after this?”

“Should we again break thy commandments, and join in affinity with the people of these abominations?”

“Let your ear be attentive and your eyes open to hear the prayer your servant is praying before you day and night for your servants, the people of Israel?”

“Why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away mine iniquity?”

“How much less shall I answer him, and choose out my words to reason with him?”

“If I be wicked, why then labour I in vain?”

“Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress, that thou shouldest despise the work of thine hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked?”

“Hast thou eyes of flesh?”

“Then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb?”

“Dost thou open thine eyes upon such an one, and bringest me into judgment with thee?”

“Look at all who are proud and humble them, crush the wicked where they stand?”

“Look at Behemoth, which I made along with you and which feeds on grass like an ox?”

“It ranks first among the works of God, yet its Maker can approach it with his sword?”

“The hills bring it their produce, and all the wild animals play nearby?”

“Can anyone capture it by the eyes, or trap it and pierce its nose?”

“Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook?”

“Canst thou put an hook into his nose?”

“Shall the companions make a banquet of him?”

“Who then is able to stand before me?”

“Who hath prevented me, that I should repay him?”

“Who can discover the face of his garment?”
