²⁵ And you, O son of man, behold, ^(A)cords will be placed upon you, and you shall be bound with them, so that you cannot go out among the people. ²⁶ And I will make your tongue cling to the roof of your mouth, so that ^(B)you shall be mute and unable to reprove them, ^(C)for they are a rebellious house. ^27 (D)But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you shall say to them, ^(E)‘Thus says the Lord God.’ ^(F)He who will hear, let him hear; and he who will refuse to hear, let him refuse, for they are a rebellious house.
