| 13. Formal Translation And I {Yahweh, Justice Executor} will extend the measuring line of Samaria and the plumb line of the house of Ahab over Jerusalem; and I will wipe Jerusalem like one wipes a dish, wiping it out and turning it upside down. |
| 13. Dynamic Translation I {Yahweh, Sovereign Judge} will apply to Jerusalem the same measuring line used against Samaria and the same plumb line used against Ahab’s house. I will wipe out Jerusalem like someone wipes a dish, cleaning it and then flipping it over. |
