uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

(Occurrence 0) I will set my eyes on them for good

(Some words not found in UHB: and,I_will_set eye_of,my on,them for,good and,I,will_bring_them_back on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the=earth/land (the),this and,I,will_build_them_up and=not tear_~_down and,I,will_plant_them and=not uproot )

Here “set my eyes” means he will see them. Seeing them is a metonym for caring for them. Alternate translation: [I will bless them]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

(Occurrence 0) I will build them up, and not tear them down. I will plant them, and not uproot them

(Some words not found in UHB: and,I_will_set eye_of,my on,them for,good and,I,will_bring_them_back on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the=earth/land (the),this and,I,will_build_them_up and=not tear_~_down and,I,will_plant_them and=not uproot )

These two metaphors have similar meanings. The second one strengthens the thought in the first. Alternate translation: [I will help them to prosper in Chaldea]
