25. But you, son of man, behold, they will put ropes on you, and will bind you with them, and you will not go out amongst them.
26. I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth, that you will be mute, and will not be able to correct them; for they are a rebellious house.
27. But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you shall tell them, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD.’ He who hears, let him hear; and he who refuses, let him refuse; for they are a rebellious house.”
