²⁶ Moreover, ^(A)I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth so that you will be unable to speak and will not be a man who reprimands them, since they are a rebellious house. ²⁷ But ^(B)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; ^(C)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.’”
