In that day will I cause the horn of the house of Israel to bud forth, and I will give thee the opening of the mouth in the midst of them; and they shall know that I am Yahweh.
But when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Sovereign Yahweh; He that heareth, let him hear; and he that forbeareth, let him forbear: for they are a rebellious house.
Now the hand of Yahweh was upon me in the evening, afore he that was escaped came; and had opened my mouth, until he came to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no more dumb.
And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.
