Matthew Poole and continuators on Isaiah 29:4

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.

Thou who now speakest so loftily, and scornfully against the Lord's Prophets and others, shalt be humbled and confounded, & afraid & ashamed to speak aloud, & shalt in a submiss manner, and with a low Voice, beg the favour of thine Enemies.

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.
