| 8. Formal Translation Thus says the LORD {Yahweh, Gracious Responder}, “In a time of favor I have answered you, and in a day of salvation I have helped you. I will guard you and give you as a covenant for the people, to establish the land and cause the desolate inheritances to be inherited.” |
| 8. Dynamic Translation This is what the LORD {Yahweh, Faithful Deliverer} says: “At the right time, I answered you, and on the day of rescue I helped you. I will protect you and appoint you to be a covenant for the people, to restore the land and distribute deserted inheritances.” |
