UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

(Occurrence 0) Like an enemy he has bent his bow toward us, with his right is ready to shoot

(Some words not found in UHB: bent bow,his like,enemy set right_hand,his like,foe and,slain all was_the_delight eye in/on/at/with,tent daughter_of Tsiuōn poured_out like_THE,fire wrath,his )

A soldier has to bend his bow in order to shoot an arrow from it. This speaks of the Lord preparing to attack Israel as if he were an enemy about to shoot them with a bow and arrow. Alternate translation: “He has prepared to kill us, like an enemy who has made his bow ready to shoot us”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

(Occurrence 0) in the tent of the daughter of Zion

(Some words not found in UHB: bent bow,his like,enemy set right_hand,his like,foe and,slain all was_the_delight eye in/on/at/with,tent daughter_of Tsiuōn poured_out like_THE,fire wrath,his )

The “daughter of Zion” is a poetic name for Jerusalem, which is spoken of here as if it were a woman. The phrase “tent of the daughter of Zion” speaks of Jerusalem as a “tent” emphasizing that it is the home of those who live there. Alternate translation: “who live in Jerusalem” (See also: figs-metaphor)

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

(Occurrence 0) he has poured out his wrath like fire

(Some words not found in UHB: bent bow,his like,enemy set right_hand,his like,foe and,slain all was_the_delight eye in/on/at/with,tent daughter_of Tsiuōn poured_out like_THE,fire wrath,his )

This speaks of the Lord’s wrath as if it were a liquid that he were pouring out on the people. His wrath is also compared to a “fire” to emphasize how destructive it is. Alternate translation: “in his anger he has destroyed everything like a blazing fire”
