My thoughts are not your thoughts

Most modern bible translations say they are a “thought for thought” translation using terms like “dynamic equivalence”.

This is dependent on the thoughts of the translator.

Isaiah 55:8-9 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Instead God has promised to preserve His words:

Psalm 12:6-7 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O Lord, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.
