| 7. Formal Translation I {Yahweh, Judge of Nations} will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place and will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies and by the hand of those who seek their life. I will give their corpses as food to the birds of the sky and to the beasts of the earth. |
| 7. Dynamic Translation In this place, I {Yahweh, Avenging Sovereign} will frustrate the plans of Judah and Jerusalem, causing them to fall by the sword before their enemies and at the hands of those who want to kill them. I will hand over their dead bodies to the birds of the sky and to the beasts {behemah: animals, beasts} of the earth. |
