| 30. Formal Translation But if the LORD {Yahweh, Sovereign Judge} creates a new thing, and the earth opens its mouth and swallows them up with all that belongs to them, and they go down alive into Sheol, then you will know that these men have despised the LORD. |
| 30. Dynamic Translation But if the LORD {Yahweh, Miracle Worker} does something completely new, and the ground opens up and swallows them along with everything they own, and they go down alive to Sheol, then you will see that these men have treated the LORD with contempt. |
