10. Formal Translation And the LORD {Yahweh, Merciful Corrector} said, “You pitied the plant that you did not toil over, and you did not make it grow. In one night it came to be, and in one night it perished.” |
10. Dynamic Translation Then the LORD {Yahweh, Wise Counselor} said, “You were concerned about the plant, even though you did not work on it or make it grow. It appeared in one night and perished in one night.” |
