| 4. Formal Translation And you will be brought low, and will speak from the ground, and your speech {imrah: utterance, poetic saying} will be bowed low out of the dust. And your voice will be like a ghost from the ground, and your speech will chirp out of the dust. |
| 4. Dynamic Translation You will be humbled and speak from the earth, with your words barely rising from the dust; your voice will sound like a spirit from the ground, and your speech will whisper faintly out of the dust. |
