They said to Moses, "If you speak to us, we will listen; but we are afraid that if God speaks to us, we will die."

I am listening to what the LORD God is saying; he promises peace to us, his own people, if we do not go back to our foolish ways.

Then I heard the Lord say, "Whom shall I send? Who will be our messenger?" I answered, "I will go! Send me!"

He said, "God loves you, so don't let anything worry you or frighten you." When he had said this, I felt even stronger and said, "Sir, tell me what you have to say. You have made me feel better."

"But get up and go into the city, where you will be told what you must do."
