2. Formal Translation But who can endure the day when He arrives, and who can stand firm at His appearing? For He {Yahweh, Just Judge} is like a refiner’s fire and like the soap used by launderers. |
2. Dynamic Translation Yet who will endure the day He {Yahweh, Purifying Refiner} comes, and who will remain standing when He is revealed? For He is like a furnace that purges metal and like soap that washes garments. |
