¹⁵ When he had spoken to me according to these words, ^(A)I turned my face toward the ground ^(B)and was mute.

²⁰ And behold, ^(A)you will be silent and unable to speak until the day that these things take place, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their time.”

²⁷ On that day your mouth ^(A)will be opened to the fugitive, and you shall speak and be no longer mute. ^(B)So you will be a sign to them, and ^(C)they will know that I am the Lord.”

⁹ Then I heard the sound of his words, ^(A)and as I heard the sound of his words, I fell on my face in deep sleep ^(B)with my face to the ground.

¹⁸ And when he had spoken to me, ^(A)I fell into a deep sleep with my face to the ground. But ^(B)he touched me and made me stand up.

^22 (A)Now ^(B)the hand of the Lord had been upon me the evening before the fugitive came; and he had opened my mouth by the time the man came to me in the morning, so my mouth was opened, and I was no longer mute.
