UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

(Occurrence 0) How can it rest … along the sea?

(Some words not found in UHB: how quiet and=YHWH given_~_anorder to/for=her/it to/near Ashkelon and=near/to shore the=sea there appointed,it )

Here Jeremiah is speaking. He continues speaking of the sword of Yahweh as if it were a person who could rest. Yahweh punishing the Philistines by sending the army of the north is spoken of as if Yahweh were striking the people with a sword. Alternate translation: “It cannot rest … along the sea.”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

(Occurrence 0) How can it rest when Yahweh has commanded it, when he has ordered … the sea?

(Some words not found in UHB: how quiet and=YHWH given_~_anorder to/for=her/it to/near Ashkelon and=near/to shore the=sea there appointed,it )

Jeremiah uses a question to mean that the sword cannot stop since Yahweh has commanded it to continue killing. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this question as a statement. Alternate translation: “It cannot stop, for Yahweh has commanded it. He has ordered … the sea.”
