14. Formal Translation Your prophets saw for you falsehood and emptiness; they did not uncover your iniquity to turn back your captivity, but they showed you burdens of falsehood and causes of banishment. |
14. Dynamic Translation Your prophets delivered you empty visions and lies. They did not expose your wrongdoing so your captivity could be turned back; instead they set before you false burdens and deceptive messages that led to exile. |
