Note 1 topic: writing-quotations
כִּ֣י כֹ֣ה אָמַר֮ יְהוָ֣ה צְבָאוֹת֒
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said to,him run say to/towards the_young,man that to=say without_walls inhabited Yerushalayim from_[the],multitude_of humankind and,livestock in,the_midst_of,of_it )
The phrase For thus says Yahweh of Armies introduces an indirect quotation of what Yahweh says. In your translation, use a natural way of introducing indirect quotations in your language.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
אַחַ֣ר כָּב֔וֹד שְׁלָחַ֕נִי
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said to,him run say to/towards the_young,man that to=say without_walls inhabited Yerushalayim from_[the],multitude_of humankind and,livestock in,the_midst_of,of_it )
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of glory, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [in order to glorify himself, he has sent me]
Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns
שְׁלָחַ֕נִי
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said to,him run say to/towards the_young,man that to=say without_walls inhabited Yerushalayim from_[the],multitude_of humankind and,livestock in,the_midst_of,of_it )
The pronoun he refers to Yahweh, while the pronoun me refers to the prophetic speaker. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [Yahweh has sent me, his prophet]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
הַנֹּגֵ֣עַ בָּכֶ֔ם נֹגֵ֖עַ בְּבָבַ֥ת עֵינֽוֹ
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said to,him run say to/towards the_young,man that to=say without_walls inhabited Yerushalayim from_[the],multitude_of humankind and,livestock in,the_midst_of,of_it )
Yahweh is using the one touching you is touching the apple of his eye as a common expression of the culture to mean “harming you is harming what is most precious to him.” If this phrase does not have that meaning for your readers, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the one who harms you harms what he treasures most]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
