| 21. Formal Translation But the children rebelled against Me {Yahweh, Righteous Judge}; they did not walk in My statutes, and they did not keep My judgments to perform them—those which, if a person does, he will live by them; they profaned My Sabbaths. Then I said I would pour out My wrath upon them to bring My anger to an end in the wilderness. |
| 21. Dynamic Translation Yet the children rebelled against Me {Yahweh, Faithful Lawgiver}! They refused to live by My laws and did not care about My decisions enough to actually follow them—if anyone follows them, they find true life; they treated My Sabbaths as ordinary. So I said I would pour out My fury on them and finish expressing My anger in the wilderness. |
