²⁷ But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth,^(A) and you will say to them, ‘This is what the Lord God says.’ Let the one who listens, listen, and let the one who refuses, refuse—for they are a rebellious house.

²⁷ On that day your mouth will be opened to talk with him; you will speak and no longer be mute.^(A) So you will be a sign for them, and they will know that I am Yahweh.’”

²² Now the hand of the Lord had been on me the evening before the fugitive arrived, and He opened my mouth before the man came to me in the morning. So my mouth was opened and I was no longer mute.^(A)
