14. Formal Translation I {Yahweh, Patient Judge} will not punish your daughters when they commit prostitution, nor your daughters-in-law when they commit adultery, because the men go off with the harlots and sacrifice with the cult prostitutes; and a people without understanding will stumble. |
14. Dynamic Translation I {Yahweh, Exposing Sin} will not hold your daughters accountable when they engage in prostitution, nor your daughters-in-law when they commit adultery, since the men themselves seek out prostitutes and offer sacrifices with temple prostitutes; a people that lacks understanding will fall. |
