This seems to be a trend for you --this whole picking- out-grammatical-errors-and-apparent-word-misusages- thing. When you can't come up with a valid argument, (and I mean, let's face it, you can't really argue that this won't happen considering it's speaking of things to come) then you either: A. Call it a "Strawman" (or one of various other terms that you or somebody like you has coined); B. Refer to its author or speaker as a Fraud, which clearly discredits anything that person will ever say again; or C. Point out grammatical errors and/or word misusage as mentioned above. Now, I gotta be completely honest, (even though I have been deemed a known liar and fraud by the powers that be in your realm) when I realized what you meant by your comment, I thought to myself: "He's got a point there." But the fact is, most people of average intelligence are going to comprehend what the translation of this passage means. I mean, I've never heard of anybody having visions of bodiless knees leaning over, or mouthless tongues speaking out truths they've just realized, upon reading that passage. But then again, I guess I haven't spent enough time with folks like you, huh? At any rate, I thought you might be interested in knowing that most dictionaries (you can check dictionary.com if you have any doubts) list "To incline the body or head or bend THE KNEE in greeting, consent, courtesy, acknowledgment, submission, or veneration" as one of many definitions for the word "bow." Checkmate.
