22. Formal Translation And it happened, as Jehoram saw Jehu, that he said, “Is it peace, Jehu?” And he replied, “What peace is there, as long as the harlotries of Jezebel your mother and her many sorceries continue?” |
22. Dynamic Translation When Jehoram spotted Jehu, he asked, “Have you come in peace, Jehu?” Jehu answered, “How can there be peace while your mother Jezebel’s acts of prostitution and all her witchcraft are still so widespread?” |
