9. Formal Translation And God {Elohim, Sovereign Questioner} said to Jonah, "Is it right for you to be angry about the plant?" And he said, "It is right for me to be angry, even unto death." |
9. Dynamic Translation But God {Elohim, Heart Examiner} asked Jonah, "Are you justified in being so angry about the plant?" Jonah replied, "Yes, it is right for me to be angry—angry enough to die." |
