9. Formal Translation The wise men are put to shame; they are terrified and taken. Look, they have rejected the word of the LORD {Yahweh, Righteous Judge}; so what wisdom can be found in them? |
9. Dynamic Translation The wise men feel humiliated; they are bewildered and caught. Look, they have turned away from the LORD’s {Yahweh, Standard Setter} message; so what real insight do they have left? |
