| 9. Formal Translation Say, “Thus says the Lord God {Yahweh Adonai, Sovereign Master}: Will it thrive {titzlach: prosper, advance}? Will he not pull up its roots {sharasheha: foundation, source} and cut off its fruit so that all the leaves of its growth wither? It will wither, and by no strong arm or by many people will it be lifted up from its roots.” |
