2. Formal Translation Thus says the LORD {Yahweh, Divine Instructor}: “You must not learn the way of the nations, nor be terrified by the signs of the heavens, for the nations are terrified by them.” |
2. Dynamic Translation This is what the LORD {Yahweh, Wise Guide} says: “Do not adopt the customs of the nations, and do not fear the heavenly signs, because the nations are frightened by them.” |
