¹¹ So the Lord said to him, ^(A)“Who has made man’s mouth? Or who makes the mute, the deaf, the seeing, or the blind? Have not I, the Lord?

¹² Now therefore, go, and I will be ^(A)with your mouth and teach you what you shall say.”

^27 (A)On that day your mouth will be opened to him who has escaped; you shall speak and no longer be mute. Thus you will be a sign to them, and they shall know that I am the Lord.’ ”

²² Now ^(A)the hand of the Lord had been upon me the evening before the man came who had escaped. And He had ^(B)opened my mouth; so when he came to me in the morning, my mouth was opened, and I was no longer mute.
