22. Formal Translation Speak, “Thus declares the LORD {Yahweh, Righteous Judge}: The carcass {nivlat: dead body, corpse} of man will lie like dung on the face of the field, and like a sheaf left behind after the reaper, with no one to gather.” |
22. Dynamic Translation Proclaim, “This is what the LORD {Yahweh, Supreme Arbiter} says: Human bodies will fall and remain like manure across the open field {sadeh: open land, farmland}, like forgotten sheaves behind the harvester, and no one will pick them up.” |
