Isaiah 29:4
Isaiah 29:4 in Multiple Translations
You will be brought low, you will speak from the ground, and out of the dust your words will be muffled. Your voice will be like a spirit from the ground; your speech will whisper out of the dust.
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.

And you will be made low, and your voice will come out of the earth, and your words will be low out of the dust; and your voice will come out of the earth like that of a spirit, making bird-like noises out of the dust.
You will be brought down, you will speak from where you're lying on the ground, mumbling in the dust. Your words will come like a ghost from the grave; your voice will be a whisper from the dust.
So shalt thou be humbled, and shalt speake out of the ground, and thy speach shalbe as out of the dust: thy voyce also shall be out of the ground like him that hath a spirite of diuination, and thy talking shall whisper out of the dust.
And thou hast been low, From the earth thou speakest, And from the dust makest thy saying low, And thy voice hath been from the earth, As one having a familiar spirit, And from the dust thy saying whisperest,

Context — Woe to David’s City
2And I will constrain Ariel, and there will be mourning and lamentation; she will be like an altar hearth before Me.
3I will camp in a circle around you; I will besiege you with towers and set up siege works against you.
4You will be brought low, you will speak from the ground, and out of the dust your words will be muffled. Your voice will be like a spirit from the ground; your speech will whisper out of the dust.
5But your many foes will be like fine dust, the multitude of the ruthless like blowing chaff. Then suddenly, in an instant, 6you will be visited by the LORD of Hosts with thunder and earthquake and loud noise, with windstorm and tempest and consuming flame of fire.Cross References

Isaiah 29:4 Summary
This verse is saying that when we are proud and think we are in control, God can humble us and make our voices small and quiet, like a whisper from the ground. This can be a difficult experience, but it's also an opportunity for us to learn to trust and obey God, like the prophet Isaiah did (Isaiah 6:1-5). By being 'brought low', we can learn to rely on God's power and wisdom, rather than our own, and find true strength and authority in Him (Proverbs 29:23). As we surrender to God's humbling work, we can experience His restoration and renewal, just like the promise in Isaiah 29:5-6.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to be 'brought low' in Isaiah 29:4?
To be brought low means to be humbled or reduced in power and influence, as seen in other scriptures like Isaiah 2:11, where God brings down the lofty and exalts the humble.
Why will the voice be 'like a spirit from the ground'?
This phrase suggests a faint, whispery voice, implying a loss of authority and power, much like the still, small voice Elijah heard in 1 Kings 19:12 after a powerful wind, earthquake, and fire.
Is this verse talking about a literal or spiritual condition?
While the language is poetic, it likely refers to a spiritual condition, where one's voice and influence are diminished, much like the prophet Ezekiel's experience of being bound and unable to speak, as described in Ezekiel 3:25-26.
How does this verse relate to the surrounding context?
This verse is part of a larger prophecy against Ariel, or Jerusalem, where God is speaking of judgment and humbling, as seen in Isaiah 29:2-3, and ultimately, restoration, as hinted at in Isaiah 29:5-6.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways I have seen God humble those in power, and what can I learn from these experiences?
- In what ways do I need to be 'brought low' in my own life, and how can I surrender to God's humbling work?
- How can I cultivate a whispery, gentle voice, like the one described in this verse, in my interactions with others?
- What are some 'siege works' in my life that God may be using to bring me low, and how can I respond to them in faith?

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Isaiah 29:4
Thy speech shall be low out of the dust; thou who now speakest so loftily and scornfully against the Lord’ s prophets and others, shalt be humbled and confounded, and afraid and ashamed to speak aloud, and shalt in a submissive manner, and with a low voice, beg the favour of thine enemies. Thy voice shall be, as of one that hath a familiar spirit, out of the ground; who, that they might possess the people with a kind of reverence and horror, used to speak and deliver their answers with a low voice, either out of their bellies, or from some dark cave under the ground.
Trapp's Commentary on Isaiah 29:4
Isaiah 29:4 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.Ver. 4. And thou, shalt be brought down.] From those lofty pinnacles of self-exaltation whereunto thy pride hath perched thee. And speak out of the ground.] Humillime et submissime, thou shalt speak supplication, with a low voice (as broken men), who wast wont to face the heavens, and speak in spite of God and men, speak big words, bubbles of words. See Jeremiah 46:22. And thy voice shall be as one that hath a familiar spirit.] Cuius vox est gracilis, flebilis, hiulca, confusa, gemebunda. Out of the ground.] As the devil at Delphi did.
Ellicott's Commentary on Isaiah 29:4
(4) Shalt speak out of the ground.—The words paint the panic of the besieged, the words pointing probably to Sennacherib’s invasion. They spoke in whispers, like the voice of the spectres which men heard in the secret chambers of the soothsayers. The war-cry of the brave was changed into the feeble tones of those that “peep and mutter.” (See Note on Isaiah 8:19.)
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Isaiah 29:4
Verse 4. And thy speech shall be low out of the dust - "And from out of the dust thou shalt utter a feeble speech"] That the souls of the dead uttered a feeble stridulous sound, very different from the natural human voice, was a popular notion among the heathens as well as among the Jews. This appears from several passages of their poets; Homer, Virgil, Horace. The pretenders to the art of necromancy, who were chiefly women, had an art of speaking with a feigned voice, so as to deceive those who applied to them, by making them believe that it was the voice of the ghost. They had a way of uttering sounds, as if they were formed, not by the organs of speech, but deep in the chest, or in the belly; and were thence called εγγαστριμυθοι, ventriloqui: they could make the voice seem to come from beneath the ground, from a distant part, in another direction, and not from themselves; the better to impose upon those who consulted them. Εξεπιτηδεςτογενοςτουτοτοναμυδρονηχονεπιτηδευονται, ἱναδιατηνασαφειαντηςφωνηςτοντουψευδουςαποδιδρασκωσινελεγχον. Psellus De Daemonibus, apud Bochart, i. p. 731. "These people studiously acquire, and affect on purpose, this sort of obscure sound; that by the uncertainty of the voice they may the better escape being detected in the cheat." From these arts of the necromancers the popular notion seems to have arisen, that the ghost's voice was a weak, stridulous, almost inarticulate sort of sound, very different from the speech of the living.
Cambridge Bible on Isaiah 29:4
ch. Isaiah 29:1-14. The announcement of Jehovah’s wonderful purpose regarding Jerusalem, and its reception on the part of the peopleUnder the second “Woe” (Isaiah 29:1) are grouped two oracles, which may have been originally independent; or they may be intimately connected, the second describing the effect of the first on the minds of Isaiah’s hearers. i. Isaiah 29:1-8. The impending humiliation and deliverance of Jerusalem. Jerusalem, apostrophised by the mystic name of “Ariel,” is at present gay and careless and secure, the festal calendar follows its accustomed course, and this state of things may endure for a short time longer (1). But already in vision the prophet sees her beset by hosts of enemies, and reduced to the lowest depths of despair (2–4) when suddenly the Lord Himself, arrayed in the terrors of earthquake and tempest, appears in judgment (6), and in a moment the scene is changed. In the very hour of their triumph, the enemies of Zion are disappointed of their expectation, and vanish like a vision of the night (7, 8). ii. Isaiah 29:9-14. A rebuke of the spiritual blindness and unbelief, and the hollow formal religion prevalent amongst all classes of the people.
(1) Isaiah 29:9-12. Jehovah has visited the leaders of the people with judicial blindness (9 f.); the consequence is that neither among the cultured nor the unlettered can the word of the Lord find entrance (11 f.). (2) Isaiah 29:13-14. Because the popular religion has degenerated into a mechanical routine of traditional observances (13) it is necessary for Jehovah to adopt startling measures, transcending all human calculation and insight (14).
Barnes' Notes on Isaiah 29:4
And shalt speak out of the ground - (see the note at Isaiah 8:19). The sense here is, that Jerusalem, that had been accustomed to pride itself on its strength I would be greatly humbled and subdued.
Whedon's Commentary on Isaiah 29:4
4. Shall be brought down — Jerusalem, accustomed to feel secure from its strength, is personified as lying flat to the ground, like a man prostrate.
