17. Formal Translation And He {Adonai, Supreme Judge} said to me, “Have you seen, son of man? Is it a slight matter for the house of Judah to commit the abominations which they have done here? For they have filled the land with violence, and they have returned to provoke Me to anger. And behold, they are putting the branch to their nose.” |
17. Dynamic Translation Then He {Adonai, Divine Speaker} said to me, “Do you see this, son of man? Is it too small a thing for the house of Judah to do these detestable acts here? They have filled the land with violence, and they keep returning to provoke Me to anger. Look—they place a branch at their nose.” |
