| 13. Formal Translation Know for certain that the LORD your God {Yahweh Eloheikhem, Covenant Guardian} will no longer drive out these nations from before you, but they will become for you a snare, and a trap, a scourge at your sides and thorns in your eyes until you perish from this good land which the LORD your God has given you. |
| 13. Dynamic Translation You can be sure that the LORD your God {Yahweh Eloheikhem, Faithful Protector} will not continue to drive out these nations before you; instead, they will be like traps and pitfalls to you, whips at your sides and thorns in your eyes until you are destroyed from this good land that the LORD your God gave you. |
