The personal name of the God of Israel, written in Hebrew with four letters, Y-H-W-H, without vowels. Out of reverence Jews stopped pronouncing it and read "Adonai" (Lord), so many Bibles put "the LORD" or "Jehovah". This translation keeps the four letters. The name is related to the verb "to be" (Exodus 3:14-15). He is not a god other than Elohim: "YHWH Elohim" is the same Creator God, called by his name.

2And yet he is wise, and he brings evil, and his words he does not take back; and he will rise against the house of evildoers and against the help of those who work wickedness.

4For thus YHWH said to me: “As the lion growls, and the young lion, over its prey, when a full band of shepherds is called out against it, at their voice it is not terrified, and at their tumult it is not abashed, so YHWH Tsevaot will come down to wage war upon Mount Zion and upon its hill.
