7. Formal Translation Even the stork in the heavens knows her appointed times, and the turtledove, the swallow, and the crane watch for the season of their arrival; but my people do not know the judgment of the LORD {Yahweh, Covenant Judge}. |
7. Dynamic Translation Even migratory birds like the stork know when to return—as the turtledove, the swallow, and the crane follow their migration—yet my people do not understand the decisions of the LORD {Yahweh, Righteous Ruler}. |
