| 9. Formal Translation Beware for yourself, lest there be a worthless matter in your heart, saying, “The seventh year, the year of release draws near,” and your eye is evil toward your needy brother, and you do not give him anything, and he calls out against you to the LORD {Yahweh, Righteous Judge}, and it becomes sin in you. |
| 9. Dynamic Translation Be careful not to harbor a selfish thought in your heart, thinking, “The seventh year, the year for canceling debts is near,” so you begrudge your needy brother and refuse to give him anything. Then he will cry out against you to the LORD {Yahweh, Just Defender}, and you will be guilty of sin. |
