| 7. Formal Translation And now, arise, go out, and speak to the heart of your servants, for by the LORD {Yahweh, Oath Witness} I have sworn. Surely if you do not go out, no man will stay with you tonight; and this will be worse for you than all the calamity that has come upon you from your youth until now. |
| 7. Dynamic Translation Now then, get up, go out, and encourage your soldiers, because I have sworn by the LORD {Yahweh, Promise Enforcer} that if you do not go out, not a single man will stay with you tonight. This will be more disastrous for you than any calamity that has come upon you since your youth. |
