UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / apostrophe

(Occurrence 0) Woe to you, land

(Some words not found in UHB: woe to/for=you(fs) earth/land when,king,your youth and,princes,your in/on/at/with,morning feast )

The writer is speaking to the people of the nation as if they were the land itself, and he is speaking to the land as if it were a person. (See also: figs-personification)

(Occurrence 0) if your king is a young boy

(Some words not found in UHB: woe to/for=you(fs) earth/land when,king,your youth and,princes,your in/on/at/with,morning feast )

This means that the king is inexperienced or immature.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

(Occurrence 0) begin feasting in the morning

(Some words not found in UHB: woe to/for=you(fs) earth/land when,king,your youth and,princes,your in/on/at/with,morning feast )

This implies that the leaders are more concerned with having a good time than with leading the nation.
