⁹ Then the Lord put out his hand, touching my mouth; and the Lord said to me, See, I have put my words in your mouth:

¹⁰ Then he said to me, Son of man, take into your heart all my words which I am about to say to you, and let your ears be open to them.

¹¹ And the Lord said to him, Who has made man's mouth? who takes away a man's voice or hearing, or makes him seeing or blind? Is it not I, the Lord?

¹² So go now, and I will be with your mouth, teaching you what to say.

¹² For the Holy Spirit will make clear to you in that very hour what to say.

¹⁹ But when you are given up into their hands, do not be troubled about what to say or how to say it: for in that hour what you are to say will be given to you;

¹⁴ For this reason the Lord, the God of armies, has said: Because you have said this, I will make my words in your mouth a fire, and this people wood, and they will be burned up by it.

¹⁶ And I have put my words in your mouth, covering you with the shade of my hand, stretching out the heavens, and placing the earth on its base, and saying to Zion, You are my people.

¹⁵ Let him give ear to your voice, and you will put my words in his mouth; and I will be with your mouth and with his, teaching you what you have to do.

¹⁶ And he will do the talking for you to the people: he will be to you as a mouth and you will be to him as God.

¹⁵ For I will give you words and wisdom, so that not one of those who are against you will be able to get the better of you, or to put you in the wrong.

⁴ The Lord God has given me the tongue of those who are experienced, so that I may be able to give the word a special sense for the feeble: every morning my ear is open to his teaching, like those who are experienced:

² And he has made my mouth like a sharp sword, in the shade of his hand he has kept me; and he has made me like a polished arrow, keeping me in his secret place;

⁶ Then a winged one came to me with a burning coal in his hand, which he had taken from off the altar with the fire-spoon.

⁷ And after touching my mouth with it, he said, See, your lips have been touched with this; and your evil is taken away, and you are made clean from sin.
