# As Yahweh of hosts lives, before whom I stand, if I ... look at you "As surely as Yahweh of hosts lives, before whom I stand, I promise you, if I ... look at you" # before whom I stand "whom I serve" # if I did not honor the presence of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, I would not pay any attention to you "it is only because I honor the presence of Jehoshaphat king of Judah that I pay attention to you" # I would not pay any attention to you, or even look at you "I would not have anything at all to do with you"
