And moreover, behold, (D)he is coming out to meet you; when he sees you, he will be glad in his heart. 15 You are to speak to him and (E)put the words in his mouth; and I, even I, will be with your mouth and his mouth, and I will teach you what you are to do. 16 Moreover, (F)he shall speak for you to the people; and he will be as a mouth for you and you will be as God to him.
