Exegesis
The clause ek stomatos {ἐκ στόματος | ek stó-ma-tos} ‘from the mouth’ uses ek with the genitive to indicate source, and nēpiōn {νηπίων | nē-pí-ōn} and thēlazontōn {θηλαζόντων | thē-laz-ón-tōn} function as genitives of source.
In context — Matthew 21:16
And they said to Him, “Do You hear what these are uttering?” But Jesus says to them, “Yes; Have You never read that, ‘Out of the mouth of infants and nursing babies You have prepared praise’?”
