fatal (Some words not found in UHB: not remedy for,fracture_of,your fatal wound_of,your all hear_of report_of,(of)_your clap hands on,you that/for/because/then/when on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in who? not escaped evil_of,your endless )

The author is speaking of Nineveh as though it were a person with a deadly wound. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [The end of your kingdom is very soon]

Note 3 topic: writing-poetry

Here, hearing the news is an emphatic construction that uses a verb and its object, both of which come from the same root. You may be able to use the same construction in your language to express the meaning here. Alternatively, your language may have another way of showing the emphasis.
