You shall be brought down,
You shall speak out of the ground;
Your speech shall be low, out of the dust;
Your voice shall be like a medium’s, (A)out of the ground;
And your speech shall whisper out of the dust.

For (A)Jerusalem stumbled,
And Judah is fallen,
Because their tongue and their doings
Are against the Lord,
To provoke the eyes of His glory.

  1. Psalm 44:25 Ground, in humiliation

Her uncleanness is in her skirts;
She (A)did not consider her destiny;
Therefore her collapse was awesome;
She had no comforter.
“O Lord, behold my affliction,
For the enemy is exalted!”

23 (A)But I will put it into the hand of those who afflict you,
Who have said to [a]you,
‘Lie down, that we may walk over you.’
And you have laid your body like the ground,
And as the street, for those who walk over.”

  1. Isaiah 51:23 Lit. your soul

11 The [a]lofty looks of man shall be (A)humbled,
The haughtiness of men shall be bowed down,
And the Lord alone shall be exalted (B)in that day.

12 For the day of the Lord of hosts
Shall come upon everything proud and lofty,
Upon everything lifted up—
And it shall be brought low—
13 Upon all (C)the cedars of Lebanon that are high and lifted up,
And upon all the oaks of Bashan;
14 (D)Upon all the high mountains,
And upon all the hills that are lifted up;
15 Upon every high tower,
And upon every fortified wall;
16 (E)Upon all the ships of Tarshish,
And upon all the beautiful sloops.
17 The [b]loftiness of man shall be bowed down,
And the haughtiness of men shall be brought low;
The Lord alone will be exalted in that day,
18 But the idols [c]He shall utterly abolish.

19 They shall go into the (F)holes of the rocks,
And into the caves of the [d]earth,
(G)From the terror of the Lord
And the glory of His majesty,
When He arises (H)to shake the earth mightily.

20 In that day a man will cast away his idols of silver
And his idols of gold,
Which they made, each for himself to worship,
To the moles and bats,
21 To go into the clefts of the rocks,
And into the crags of the rugged rocks,
From the terror of the Lord
And the glory of His majesty,
When He arises to shake the earth mightily.
