# secretly entices you and says, 'Let us go and worship other gods' which you have not known
|
|
|
|
The words "Let us go and worship other gods" are a direct quote. The words "which you have not known" describe the other gods, but they are not part of the quote. In some languages, it might be more natural to use an indirect quote. Alternate translation: "secretly entices you to go and worship other gods which you have not known" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-quotations]]) |
