22. Formal Translation And they will say, “Because they forsook the LORD {Yahweh, Covenant Judge} their God, who brought them out from the land of Egypt and clung to other gods, bowing down and serving them; therefore He brought upon them all this disaster.” |
22. Dynamic Translation And people will say, “It happened because they turned away from the LORD {Yahweh, Faithful Deliverer} their God, who rescued their ancestors from Egypt and embraced other gods in worship and service. That is why He caused all this trouble to come upon them.” |
