20. Formal Translation Surely, just as a wife treacherously departs from her companion, so you have acted treacherously against Me, house of Israel, declares the LORD {Yahweh, Faithful Covenant Judge}. |
20. Dynamic Translation Just as a wife betrays and leaves her close partner, in the same way you have betrayed Me, people of Israel, says the LORD {Yahweh, Trustworthy Guide}. |
