Then you will (A)be brought low;
From the earth you will speak,
And from the dust where you are prostrate
Your words will come.
Your voice will also be like that of a [a]spirit from the ground,
And your speech will whisper from the dust.

But the multitude of your [b]enemies will become like fine (B)dust,
And the multitude of the (C)ruthless ones like the chaff which [c]blows away;
And it will happen (D)instantly, suddenly.
From the Lord of armies you will be (E)punished with (F)thunder and earthquake and loud noise,
With whirlwind and tempest and the flame of a consuming fire.
