+# If they are prophets, and if the word of Yahweh has truly come to them, let them beg Yahweh
 
-This is a hypothetical situation that Yahweh knows is not true. Alternate translation: "If they were prophets, and if the word of Yahweh had truly come to them, they would beg" or "Because they are not prophets and the word of Yahweh has not truly come to them, they will not beg" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-hypo]])
+Yahweh speaks as if it were possible that they were prophets, and he challenges them to beg of him. But he knows that they are not true prophets and they will not beg of him.
