4. Formal Translation And the LORD {Yahweh, Just Judge} said to him, “Call his name Jezreel, for in a little while I will call to account the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and I will put an end to the kingdom of the house of Israel.” |
4. Dynamic Translation Then the LORD {Yahweh, Righteous Arbiter} said to him, “Name him Jezreel, for soon I will hold the house of Jehu responsible for the bloodshed at Jezreel, and I will bring an end to the kingdom of the house of Israel.” |
