8. Formal Translation "Therefore wait for Me," declares the LORD {Yahweh, Righteous Judge}, "for the day when I rise up to seize the prey. For My judgment is to gather the nations, to assemble the kingdoms, to pour out upon them My indignation, all the burning of My anger; for in the fire of My jealousy all the earth shall be consumed." |
8. Dynamic Translation "So wait for Me," says the LORD {Yahweh, Justice Bringer}, "until the day I rise up to seize the prey. My decision is to gather the nations and bring together the kingdoms, to pour out My deepest anger on them—all My fierce wrath. The whole earth will be devoured by the fire of My jealousy." |
