21. Formal Translation A voice is heard upon the high places—the weeping and supplications of the children of Israel—because they have perverted their way and have forgotten the LORD {Yahweh, Covenant Redeemer} their God {Elohim, Protector of Israel}. |
21. Dynamic Translation A cry is heard on the hills—the weeping and earnest prayers of Israel’s children—because they have gone astray from their path and have forgotten the LORD {Yahweh, Faithful Deliverer} their God {Elohim, Guardian of Israel}. |
