17. Formal Translation Therefore, thus says the LORD {Yahweh, Righteous Judge}: “Your wife will prostitute herself in the city, and your sons and your daughters will fall by the sword; your land will be divided by a boundary line; you will die on unclean soil; and Israel will surely go into exile from its land.” |
17. Dynamic Translation This is what the LORD {Yahweh, Justice Decreer} says: “Your wife will become a prostitute in the city; your sons and your daughters will die by the sword; your land will be measured and parceled out; you will die in an unclean land; and Israel will certainly go into exile away from its land.” |
