2. Formal Translation You desire and do not have; you kill and covet, and you are not able to obtain. You fight and wage war, yet you do not have because you do not ask. |
2. Dynamic Translation You want things but do not have them, so you kill; you are jealous and still cannot get what you long for. You quarrel and fight, but you do not have what you want because you do not ask. |
