| 8. Formal Translation And like the bad figs which cannot be eaten from badness, thus says the LORD {Yahweh, Righteous Judge}: “So I will treat Zedekiah the king of Judah and his officials, the remnant of Jerusalem who remain in this land, and those dwelling in the land of Egypt like these bad figs.” |
| 8. Dynamic Translation Just like those rotten figs that are too bad to eat, so I, the LORD {Yahweh, Supreme Arbiter}, will treat Zedekiah, king of Judah, his leaders, the rest of Jerusalem who remain in this land, and those living in Egypt the same way. |
