6. Formal Translation On that day I {Yahweh, Sovereign Judge} will make the chiefs of Judah like a firepot among wood, and like a torch of fire among sheaves. They will consume all the surrounding peoples on the right and on the left, and Jerusalem shall again dwell in her place, in Jerusalem. |
6. Dynamic Translation At that time I {Yahweh, Restoring King} will make the leaders of Judah like a blazing pot in a pile of wood, and like a flaming torch in bundles of grain. They will destroy all the peoples surrounding them on the right and on the left, and Jerusalem will be safely settled again in her own place, in Jerusalem. |
