| 14. Formal Translation And among the prophets of Jerusalem I have seen a dreadful thing: they commit adultery and walk in deceit, and they bolster evildoers so that no one turns from his evil. All of them are to me like Sodom, and its inhabitants like Gomorrah. |
| 14. Dynamic Translation I have witnessed something shocking among Jerusalem’s prophets—adultery and a way of life built on lies. They rally wrongdoers, so that nobody turns away from his wickedness. All of them seem like Sodom to me, and its people like Gomorrah. |
