UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

(Occurrence 0) Wickedness burns like a fire; it devours the briers and thorns; it even burns the thickets of the forest

(Some words not found in UHB: in/on/at/with,wrath YHWH armies/angels scorched land and=he/it_was the,people like,fuel fire (a)_man to/towards his/its=woman not spares )

The people’s evil deeds are spoken of as if they were a very destructive fire. This fire burns even the briers and thorns, plants that grow in places where people no longer live, and “the thickets of the forest” where no one has ever lived, because it has already destroyed the places where people were living.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

(Occurrence 0) briers … thorns

(Some words not found in UHB: in/on/at/with,wrath YHWH armies/angels scorched land and=he/it_was the,people like,fuel fire (a)_man to/towards his/its=woman not spares )

The words “briers” and “thorns” both refer to useless, thorny plants; they can be translated using one word. See how you translated these words in Isaiah 7:23. Alternate translation: “thorn bushes”
