(Some words not found in UHB: to_reel she_reels earth/land like_the,drunkard and,sways like_the,hut and,heavy on/upon=it(f) transgression,its and,falls and=not again rise )

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

(Occurrence 0) Its sin will be heavy on it and it will fall and never rise again

(Some words not found in UHB: to_reel she_reels earth/land like_the,drunkard and,sways like_the,hut and,heavy on/upon=it(f) transgression,its and,falls and=not again rise )

This speaks of the earth as if it were a person and transgressions were a heavy object. The person tries to carry the heavy weight but the weight causes the person to fall and not be able to stand back up. Here the earth represents the people of the earth who cause Yahweh to destroy the earth because of their sins. Alternate translation: “The sins of the people are many and so Yahweh will destroy the earth, and the earth will be like a person who falls and cannot get back up” (See also: figs-metonymy)
