slave of,lord_of,my

Throughout this chapter, the same Hebrew word is translated as slave when the context has negative connotations ([verses 9–10](../44/09.md), [16–17](../44/16.md), [33](../44/33.md)), but is translated as servant when the context has more positive connotations ([verses 7](../44/07.md), 9, [16](../44/16.md), [18–19](../44/18.md), [21](../44/21.md), [23–24](../44/23.md), [27](../44/27.md), [30–32](../44/30.md)). Do what is best in your language in each context. Alternate translation: [as a slave for you] or [and be your servant]
