| 15. Formal Translation Therefore, thus says the LORD of hosts {Yahweh Tsevaot, Supreme Commander} concerning the prophets: Behold, I will give them wormwood for food and make them drink waters of poison, for from the prophets of Jerusalem profaneness has gone out to all the land. |
| 15. Dynamic Translation So this is what the LORD of hosts {Yahweh Tsevaot, Ruler of Armies} says about the prophets: “I will give them bitter food to eat and poisoned water to drink, because corruption has spread from Jerusalem’s prophets throughout the whole land.” |
