I am not pleased with the translation.
Malachi 3:6 HCSB
6 "Because I, Yahweh, have not changed, you descendants of Jacob have not been destroyed
The HCSB has ruined this passage that has traditionally taught God's immutability by leaving the possibiliy of change open and taking the traditionally definitive passage out of the definitive catagory.
I'm quite dissapointed in it really.
Translations of Malachi 3:6 for comparison.
KJB: 6For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
ESV: 6"For I the LORD do not change;therefore you, O children of Jacob, are not consumed.
NKJV: 6 “ For I am the LORD, I do not change;
Therefore you are not consumed, O sons of Jacob.
NASB: 6"For I, the LORD, do not change; therefore you, O sons of Jacob, are not consumed.
NIV: 6 “I the LORD do not change. So you, O descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed.
