4. Formal Translation Thus says the LORD {Yahweh, Sentence-Holder}: For three transgressions of Judah and for four, I will not turn it back, because they have despised the law of the LORD and have not kept His statutes; their lies led them astray—lies after which their fathers walked. |
4. Dynamic Translation This is what the LORD {Yahweh, Covenant Prosecutor} declares: With Judah’s crimes piled up again and again, I will not withdraw it, because they rejected and did not keep His statutes. Their falsehoods pushed them off the path that their ancestors followed. |
