| 11. Formal Translation Now, speak to the men of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, “Thus says the LORD {Yahweh, Divine Judge}: Look, I am forming evil against you and planning a scheme against you. Return now, each one from his evil way, and make your ways and your deeds good.” |
| 11. Dynamic Translation Go at once and tell the people of Judah and those living in Jerusalem, “This is what the LORD {Yahweh, Justice Giver} says: Look! I am shaping disaster for you and devising a plan against you. Turn back, each of you, from your wicked road, and change both your ways and your actions.” |
