Exegesis
The closing direct-speech tag legei kyrios {λέγει κύριος | légei kýrios} “says the Lord” places the entire citation under the immediate, present authority of the Lord’s voice. English word order preserves the sequence of citation formula, introduced quotation, and concluding divine attribution, while rendering the Greek parallelism and contrast (“in other tongues … and in the lips of others … and not even so”) with clear connectors.
