Here in Jeremiah, we hear what took place when God called Him to be a prophet.  He says, “The LORD, then, reached out His hand and touched my mouth and said to me, “Now, I have put My words in your mouth.” Now, at first, wouldn’t it seem to make more sense if God had said, “I have put My words in your _ear”? _ But there’s a reason God said it in this way and it becomes more apparent as we read on.
