| 16. Formal Translation And it happened, as he was speaking to him, that the king said, “Have we appointed you as counselor to the king? Cease for yourself; why should they strike you?” Then the prophet stopped and said, “I know that God {Elohim, Divine Decider} has determined to destroy you, because you have done this and have not listened to my counsel.” |
| 16. Dynamic Translation While he was still speaking to him, the king interrupted and said, “Did we appoint you as the king’s counselor? Stop now or you will be struck down!” So the prophet stopped speaking and declared, “I know God {Elohim, Judgment Decider} has resolved to destroy you, because you have done this and refused to listen to my advice.” |
