| 10. Formal Translation And he said, “I have been very zealous for the LORD God of hosts {Yahweh Elohei Tsevaot, Divine Warrior}, for the sons of Israel have forsaken your covenant; they have torn down your altars, slain your prophets with the sword; and I alone am left, and they seek my life to take it.” |
| 10. Dynamic Translation He answered, “I have been passionately devoted to the LORD God of hosts {Yahweh Elohei Tsevaot, Defender of Israel}. But Israel has abandoned your covenant, pulled down your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword. Only I remain, and now they are trying to take my life.” |
