25. You will be tied with ropes, mortal man, and you will not be able to go out in public.
26. I will paralyse your tongue so that you won't be able to warn these rebellious people.
27. Then, when I speak to you again and give you back the power of speech, you will tell them what I, the Sovereign Lord, am saying. Some of them will listen, but some will ignore you, for they are a nation of rebels.”
