9:9 Note: KJB: Isa.9.10
OET (OET-RV) “The bricks have fallen, but we’ll rebuild with beautiful chiselled stone.
⇔ ≈ The sycamores are felled, but we’ll replace them with expensive cedar.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / irony

bricks fallen and,hewn_[stone] let_us_build sycamores cut_down and,cedars replace
The people actually mean to communicate the opposite of the literal meaning of what they are saying here. They are boasting that they will rebuild better than before, but in reality they are defying God’s judgment. If a speaker of your language would not do that, you could translate the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [When our enemies cause destruction, we will rebuild even better than before]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
שִׁקְמִ֣ים גֻּדָּ֔עוּ
sycamores cut_down
The expression Sycamores have been cut down is a passive verbal form. If it would be unnatural to use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [the sycamores have come down]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
