⁴ For the yoke of their burden
    and the bar across their shoulders,
    the rod of their oppressor,
    you have broken as on the day of Midian.^(A)

⁴ Then deep from the earth you shall speak;
    from low in the dust your words shall come;
your voice shall come from the ground like the voice of a ghost,
    and your speech shall whisper out of the dust.^(A)

¹⁴ The oppressed shall speedily be released;
    they shall not die and go down to the Pit,
    nor shall they lack bread.^(A)
