^5 (A)As for them, whether they hear or whether they refuse—for they are a ^(B)rebellious house—yet they ^(C)will know that a prophet has been among them.

³ “Therefore, son of man, prepare your belongings for captivity, and go into captivity by day in their sight. You shall go from your place into captivity to another place in their sight. It may be that they will consider, though they are a rebellious house.

^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.’ ”

²¹ ‘In that day ^(A)I will cause the ^[a]horn of the house of Israel to spring forth, and I will ^(B)open your mouth to speak in their midst. Then 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.

¹¹ He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him ^[a]be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.”
