Yehezkiel 3:26

3:26 I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth so that you will be silent and unable to reprove ¹  them, for they are a rebellious house.

Yehezkiel 33:22

33:22 Now the hand of the Lord had been on me ²  the evening before the refugee reached me, but the Lord ³  opened my mouth by the time the refugee arrived ⁴  in the morning; he opened my mouth and I was no longer unable to speak. ⁵ 

¹ tn Heb “you will not be to them a reprover.” In Isa 29:21 and Amos 5:10 “a reprover” issued rebuke at the city gate.

² tn The other occurrences of the phrase “the hand of the Lord” in Ezekiel are in the context of prophetic visions.

³ tn Heb “he”; the referent has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁴ tn Heb “by the time of the arrival to me.” For clarity the translation specifies the refugee as the one who arrived.

⁵ sn Ezekiel’s God-imposed muteness was lifted (see 3:26).
