If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind the abstract noun declaration in another way. Alternate translation: [Yahweh declares]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ח֥וֹמַת אֵ֖שׁ סָבִ֑יב

wall_of fire around

Yahweh is speaking of his protection of Jerusalem as if he were a wall of fire all around it, meaning he will powerfully protect the city on every side. If this image does not communicate well in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [a powerful defense all around]
