²⁷ But ^(A)when I speak to you, I will open your mouth, and you will say to them, ‘Thus says Lord Yahweh.’ He who hears, let him hear; and he who refuses, let him refuse; ^(B)for they are a rebellious house.

²⁷ On that day your ^(A)mouth will be opened to him who escaped, and you will speak and be mute no longer. Thus you will be a wondrous sign to them, and they will know that I am Yahweh.’”

²² Now the ^(A)hand of Yahweh had been upon me in the evening, before those who escaped came. And He ^(B)opened my mouth ^[a]at the time they came to me in the morning; so my mouth was ^(C)opened, and I was no longer mute.

¹⁵ for ^(A)I will give you a mouth and wisdom which none of your opponents will be able to resist or refute.
