UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

(Occurrence 0) Their webs cannot be used for garments, nor can they cover themselves with their works

(Some words not found in UHB: webs,their not become as,clothing and=not cover in/on/at/with,works,their works,their works iniquity and,deeds violence/cruelty in/on/at/with,hands,their )

This means their sinful deeds cannot be covered and hidden, just as a web cannot serve as clothing and cover someone. Alternate translation: “Their evil deeds will be exposed as useless”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

(Occurrence 0) Their webs cannot be used for garments

(Some words not found in UHB: webs,their not become as,clothing and=not cover in/on/at/with,works,their works,their works iniquity and,deeds violence/cruelty in/on/at/with,hands,their )

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “They cannot clothe themselves with their webs”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

(Occurrence 0) deeds of violence are in their hands

(Some words not found in UHB: webs,their not become as,clothing and=not cover in/on/at/with,works,their works,their works iniquity and,deeds violence/cruelty in/on/at/with,hands,their )

“Hands” represents the ability and power to do these things and therefore their responsibility. Alternate translation: “they are fully responsible for the violence they do”
