| 15. Formal Translation And the LORD {Yahweh, Disciplining Judge} will strike Israel as a reed is shaken in the water. And He will uproot Israel from this good land that He gave to their fathers, and He will scatter them beyond the river, because they made their Asherah poles, provoking the LORD to anger. |
| 15. Dynamic Translation The LORD {Yahweh, Passionate Defender} will bring a blow against Israel, making them like a reed swaying in the water. He will pull Israel up from this good land He gave their ancestors and scatter them beyond the river because they set up their own Asherah poles, upsetting the LORD deeply. |
