isaiah 29:4 Then you shall be brought low; From the earth you shall speak, And from the dust [where] you are prostrate, Your words [shall come]. Your voice shall also be like that of a spirit from the ground, And your speech shall whisper from the dust.

< Isaiah 29:3
Isaiah 29:5 >

      4. Jerusalem shall be as a captive, humbled to the dust. Her voice shall come from the earth as that of the spirit-charmers or necromancers (Isa 8:19), faint and shrill, as the voice of the dead was supposed to be. Ventriloquism was doubtless the trick caused to make the voice appear to come from the earth (Isa 19:3). An appropriate retribution that Jerusalem, which consulted necromancers, should be made like them!
