| 16. Formal Translation As I live—declares the Lord GOD {Yahweh Adonai, Sovereign Judge}—surely in the place of the king who made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he broke, with him in the midst of Babylon, he shall die. |
| 16. Dynamic Translation As surely as I live, says the Lord GOD {Yahweh Adonai, Supreme Ruler}, he will die right there in Babylon, where the king who put him on the throne lives—whose oath he rejected, and whose covenant he broke. |
