2. Formal Translation If you refuse to heed this warning and do not impress it upon your heart to give honor to My name, the LORD of hosts {Yahweh Tsevaot, Commander of Armies} declares that I will send a curse among you and curse your blessings; indeed, I have already done so because you do not impress it upon your heart. |
2. Dynamic Translation If you disregard this warning and will not let it sink into your heart to honor My name, the LORD of hosts {Yahweh Tsevaot, Supreme Guardian} warns that I will send a curse upon you and turn your blessings into curses. Indeed, they already lie under a curse because you refuse to let it sink into your heart. |
