| 13. Formal Translation But the house of Israel rebelled against Me {Yahweh, Covenant Judge} in the wilderness; they did not walk in My statutes, and they despised My judgments, which, if a man does them, he shall live by them; and they greatly profaned My Sabbaths. Then I said I would pour out My wrath upon them in the wilderness to consume them. |
| 13. Dynamic Translation But the people of Israel turned against Me {Yahweh, Righteous Ruler} in the desert. They did not follow My rules, and they rejected My decisions. A person who obeys them will live by them, but they seriously dishonored My Sabbaths. Then I declared I would pour out My anger on them in the wilderness to destroy them. |
