12. Formal Translation Were they ashamed because they committed abomination? No—they are not ashamed at all, and they do not even know how to blush. Therefore they will fall with those who fall; in the time of their punishment they will be brought down, says the LORD {Yahweh, Righteous Judge}. |
12. Dynamic Translation Did they feel shame when they did something so disgusting? Not at all—they did not feel ashamed in the least and did not even know how to blush. When the time for judgment comes, they will fall with the fallen; they will be brought down, declares the LORD {Yahweh, Justice Bringer}. |
