Over the phone I could tell someone: "the password is the first 28 words of Psalm 23 from the King James Version." Would that be a weak password?

Yes because the paraphrase already exists in plain text somewhere public
28 words would be about 200 characters, though, and I don't think simply existing somewhere in plaintext is enough -- what if I said it is the first 28,000 words of the Latin Bible -- would you still consider that a weak password because it exists in plain text somewhere?
Funny enough, the Bible's well enough indexed, and in small enough chunks, that you could just send someone:
Psalms23:2
and have a 14 word passphrase.
