(Some words not found in UHB: and,you_will_say to,them this [is]_the,nation which/who not obey to,the_voice_of YHWH his/its=god and=not accept discipline perished (the),faithfulness and,it_has_been_cut_off from,mouth_of,their )

Here “the voice of Yahweh” represents what Yahweh has said. See how you translated this in [Jeremiah 3:25](../03/25.md). Alternate translation: “what Yahweh its God has said”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

(Occurrence 0) Truth is destroyed and cut off from their mouths

(Some words not found in UHB: and,you_will_say to,them this [is]_the,nation which/who not obey to,the_voice_of YHWH his/its=god and=not accept discipline perished (the),faithfulness and,it_has_been_cut_off from,mouth_of,their )

Yahweh speaks of truth as if it was something the people could destroy and stop saying. If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “The people destroy truth and cut it off from their mouths” or “The people tell only lies” (See also: figs-idiom)

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

(Occurrence 0) Truth is destroyed

(Some words not found in UHB: and,you_will_say to,them this [is]_the,nation which/who not obey to,the_voice_of YHWH his/its=god and=not accept discipline perished (the),faithfulness and,it_has_been_cut_off from,mouth_of,their )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word truth, you can express the same idea with an adjective such as “truthful.” Alternate translation: “What is truthful is destroyed”
