6. Formal Translation My people are brought to ruin through lack of knowledge; since you have rejected the knowledge, I will reject you, so that you will not serve as priest to Me. You have forgotten the law of your God {Elohim, Covenant Judge}; I also will forget your children. |
6. Dynamic Translation My people are falling apart because they do not have knowledge; because you have pushed away knowledge, I will push you away and keep you from serving in My priesthood. You have neglected the teaching of your God {Elohim, Relationship Guardian}, so I will neglect your children as well. |
