stay on your knees

The French phrase 'restez à genoux' is used to instruct someone to remain in a kneeling position. It can be used in various contexts, such as during a religious ceremony, a request in a formal situation, or when asking someone to show humility or respect. The phrase combines 'restez', which is the second person plural form of the verb 'rester' meaning 'to stay', with 'à genoux', meaning 'on your knees'.
