10. Formal Translation And I {Yahweh, Sovereign Judge} will turn your feasts into mourning and all your songs into lamentation; I will bring sackcloth upon all loins and baldness upon every head. I will make it like the mourning for an only son and the end of it like a bitter day. |
10. Dynamic Translation I {Yahweh, Avenging Judge} will change your celebrations into times of mourning and all your songs into funeral cries. I will put sackcloth on every waist and baldness on every head. It will be like the grief for an only child, and its ending like a bitter day. |
