I will (A)camp against you [a]encircling you,
And I will set up siegeworks against you,
And I will raise up battle towers against you.
Then you will (B)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 [b]spirit from the ground,
And your speech will whisper from the dust.

But the multitude of your [c]enemies will become like fine (C)dust,
And the multitude of the (D)ruthless ones like the chaff which [d]blows away;
And it will happen (E)instantly, suddenly.
