Greek text · Archambault 2:142

Καὶ τὸ Ἐξηράνθη ὡς ὄστρακον ἡ ἰσχύς μου, καὶ ἡ γλῶσσά μου κεκόλληται τῷ λάρυγγί μου, ὅπερ προεῖπον, τῆς σιγῆς, ἐν μηδενὶ μηδὲν ἀποκρινόμενος ὁ πάντας ἐλέγχων ἀσόφους τοὺς παρʼ ὑμῖν διδασκάλους, προαγγελία ἦν.

English · Claude translation

“And ‘My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue cleaves to my throat’ was, as I said before, a foretelling of the silence of him who convicted all your teachers of being unwise, when he answered nothing at all.
