⁹ Then Yahweh sent forth His hand and ^(A)touched my mouth, and Yahweh said to me,

²⁹ “Is not My word like ^(A)fire?” declares Yahweh, “and like a ^(B)hammer which shatters a rock?

⁶ But did not My words and My statutes, which I commanded My slaves the prophets, ^(A)overtake your fathers? Then they ^[a]returned and said, ‘^(B)As Yahweh of hosts purposed to do to us in accordance with our ways and our deeds, so He has done with us.’”’”
