Need help! Please!

Maybe somebody can advice what to do in this situation... I have passed the GMAT twice and the outcome was the same - 700. BUT! The first time I scored 78 for math and over 80 for verbal. The second time I scored 93 for math, but... only about 70 for verbal (I don't know what has happened to me - I was a bit ill and probably lost concentration by the end of the exam). So... the overall score is the same, but the differences between the sections are great. So what score would you recommend me to report? I am happy about my math, but the verbal of only 70 makes me upset... I am a foreigner, not from the US and English is not my native language. So, what would you recommend in this situation?

I think you first score is more balanced score. Your quant is near the 80th percentile while your verbal is over the 80th percentile. I'd suggest you go with the first score.
