²⁷ But when I speak to you, I will open your mouth and you shall say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says.’^(A) Whoever will listen let them listen, and whoever will refuse let them refuse; for they are a rebellious people.^(B)

²⁷ At that time your mouth will be opened; you will speak with him and will no longer be silent.^(A) So you will be a sign to them, and they will know that I am the Lord.^(B)”

²² Now the evening before the man arrived, the hand of the Lord was on me,^(A) and he opened my mouth^(B) before the man came to me in the morning. So my mouth was opened and I was no longer silent.^(C)
