4Then you will abe 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 1spirit from the ground,

And your speech will whisper from the dust.

5But it will be that the multitude of your 1enemies will become like fine adust,

And the multitude of the bruthless ones like the chaff which 2blows away;

And it will happen cinstantly, suddenly.

6From Yahweh of hosts you will be apunished with bthunder and earthquake and loud noise,

With whirlwind and tempest and the flame of a consuming fire.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

And you will be brought low; from the earth you shall speak,

and from the dust your speech will be bowed down;

your voice shall come from the ground like the voice of a ghost,

and from the dust your speech shall whisper.

But the multitude of your foreign foes shall be like small dust,

and the multitude of the ruthless like passing chaff.

And in an instant, suddenly,

you will be visited by the Lord of hosts

with thunder and with earthquake and great noise,

with whirlwind and tempest, and the flame of a devouring fire.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

Brought low, you will speak from the ground;

your speech will mumble out of the dust.

Your voice will come ghostlike from the earth;

out of the dust your speech will whisper.

But your many enemies will become like fine dust,

the ruthless hordes like blown chaff.

Suddenly, in an instant,

the Lord Almighty will come

with thunder and earthquake and great noise,

with windstorm and tempest and flames of a devouring fire.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

You will be brought down;

you will speak from the ground,

and your words will come from low in the dust.

Your voice will be like that of a spirit from the ground;

your speech will whisper from the dust.

Your many foes will be like fine dust,

and many of the ruthless, like blowing chaff.

Then suddenly, in an instant,

you will be punished by the Lord of Armies

with thunder, earthquake, and loud noise,

storm, tempest, and a flame of consuming fire.

NLTNew Living Translation

Then deep from the earth you will speak;

from low in the dust your words will come.

Your voice will whisper from the ground

like a ghost conjured up from the grave.

“But suddenly, your ruthless enemies will be crushed

like the finest of dust.

Your many attackers will be driven away

like chaff before the wind.

Suddenly, in an instant,

I, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, will act for you

with thunder and earthquake and great noise,

with whirlwind and storm and consuming fire.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Then you shall be low;

you shall speak from the earth,

and your words will be low, from dust.

And your voice will be from the earth, like a ghost,

and your word will whisper from the dust.

But the multitude of your strangers shall be like fine dust,

and the multitude of tyrants like chaff that passes by.

And it will happen in an instant, suddenly.

You will be punished by Yahweh of hosts

with thunder and earthquake and great sound,

storm wind and tempest and the flame of a devouring fire.

KJV 1900King James Version

And thou shalt be brought down, and shalt speak out of the ground,

And thy speech shall be low out of the dust,

And thy voice shall be, as of one that hath a familiar spirit, out of the ground,

And thy speech shall whisper out of the dust.

Moreover the multitude of thy strangers shall be like small dust,

And the multitude of the terrible ones shall be as chaff that passeth away:

Yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly.

Thou shalt be visited of the Lord of hosts

With thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise,

With storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.
