2. Formal Translation If only there were for me in the wilderness a lodging place for travelers so that I might leave my people and go away from them; for they are all adulterers, a gathering of traitors. |
2. Dynamic Translation If only I could find a travelers’ shelter in the desert so that I could leave my people behind and depart from them, for they are all unfaithful in marriage, a crowd of traitors. |
