For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.
Ver. 20. But the Spirit of your Father] Who borroweth your mouth for the present, to speak by. It is he that forms your speeches for you, dictates them to you, filleth you with matter, and furnisheth you with words. Fear not therefore your rudeness to reply. There is no mouth into which God cannot put words: and how often doth he choose the weak and unlearned to confound the wise and mighty, as he did Balaam's ass to confute his master!
