7. Formal Translation They are the ones who trample the dust of the earth onto the head of the poor, and they turn aside the way of the humble; a man and his father go to the same young woman, in order to profane My {Yahweh, Holy Judge} holy name. |
7. Dynamic Translation They push the poor down into the dirt and force the humble off their path; a man and his father go to the same young woman, and so they treat My {Yahweh, Wronged King} holy name as unholy. |
