OET interlinear JER 51:25

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / apostrophe

Yahweh speaks to the people of Jerusalem, who could hear him, as if he were speaking to the people of Babylon, who could not hear him.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

(Occurrence 0) I will stretch out my hand against you

(Some words not found in UHB: here,I [am]_against,you mountain_of of_(the),destruction declares_of YHWH [which],destroys DOM all/each/any/every the=earth/land and,I_will_stretch_out DOM hand_of,my on,you and,I,will_roll_you from/more_than the,crags and,I,will_make_you into,a_mountain_of burnt-out )

The word “hand” is a metonym for the power that the hand exercises. See how “I will attack the inhabitants of the land with my hand” is translated in [Jeremiah 6:12](../06/12.md). Alternate translation: [I will use my strength to attack you]
