21. Formal Translation And I said, “What are these coming to do?” And he said, “These are the horns that scattered Judah so that no one lifted his head; but these have come to terrify them and to bring down the horns of the nations that lifted a horn against the land of Judah to scatter it.” |
21. Dynamic Translation So I asked, “What are these coming to do?” He answered, “Those horns scattered Judah until no one could hold their head up, and these have come to frighten them and to topple the power of the nations that raised their horn against Judah’s land in order to scatter its territory.” |
