| 19. Formal Translation Because your heart was softened and you humbled yourself before the LORD {Yahweh, Responsive to Repentance} when you heard My words about this place and its inhabitants—that they were destined for desolation and curse—and you tore your garments and wept before Me, I have heard you also, declares the LORD. |
| 19. Dynamic Translation Since your heart was gentle and you humbled yourself before the LORD {Yahweh, Compassionate Listener} when you heard My words about this place and its inhabitants—that they would become a curse and lie desolate—and you ripped your garments and wept before Me, I have listened to you as well, says the LORD. |
