Contradiction with Jeremiah 1:6
Jeremiah expresses inadequacy in speaking, but God assures him He will put words in Jeremiah's mouth, contrasting with Moses' reliance on God's guidance in Exodus 4:12.
Jeremiah 1:6: Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I [am] a child.
Contradiction with Matthew 10:19
Jesus tells his disciples not to worry about what to say because they will be given words, similar reassurance but for a different context than the assurance given to Moses.
Matthew 10:19: But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.
Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 2:1-4
Paul describes relying not on eloquence but on the Spirit, which contrasts with God's direct assurance to Moses about speaking.
1 Corinthians 2:1-4: And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.
Contradiction with 2 Corinthians 3:5-6
Paul emphasizes sufficiency through God, yet implies the need for human ability, differing from the direct divine enablement in Exodus 4:12.
2 Corinthians 3:5-6: Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency [is] of God;

Exodus 4:12 presents a scenario where God assures guidance in speaking. A potential contradiction arises when comparing this with the idea of free will. If God controls speech, it might conflict with the belief that humans have the freedom to choose their words and actions independently.
