3. Formal Translation Behold, here I am; testify against me before the LORD {Yahweh, Righteous Judge} and before His anointed. Whose ox have I taken? Whose donkey have I taken? Whom have I oppressed? Whom have I defrauded? From whose hand have I taken a bribe so that I would cover my eyes? I will restore it to you. |
3. Dynamic Translation I am standing here; speak against me in the presence of the LORD {Yahweh, Integrity Examiner} and His chosen one. Have I ever taken anyone’s ox? Have I ever taken anyone’s donkey? Have I ever cheated or exploited anyone? Have I ever accepted a bribe and then ignored what is right? If you can name it, I will make it right for you. |
