7. Formal Translation And it is decreed: she is uncovered, she is brought up, and her maidservants proceed, like the voice of doves, beating upon their breasts. |
7. Dynamic Translation The decision stands—she is laid bare and carried away; her servant girls go mourning, cooing like doves, and striking their chests. |
