²⁷ But ^(A)when I speak to you, I will open your mouth and you will say to them, ‘This is what the Lord ^[a]God says:’ The one who hears, let him hear; and the one 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 no longer be silenced. So you will be a sign to them, and they will know that I am the Lord.’”

²² Now the ^(A)hand of the Lord had been upon me in the evening, before the survivors 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 ^[b]speechless.

¹⁵ for ^(A)I will provide you ^[a]eloquence and wisdom which none of your adversaries will be able to oppose or refute.
