UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

(Occurrence 0) If it is thrown into a fire as fuel … is it good for anything?

(Some words not found in UHB: see/lo/see! into_the,fire put for=food DOM two_of ends,its eating the,fire and,middle,its charred ?,useful for,anything )

Yahweh asks this rhetorical question to remind Ezekiel of something he already knows. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this question as a statement. Alternate translation: “If it is thrown into a fire as fuel … it is not good for anything.”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

(Occurrence 0) If it is thrown into a fire as fuel

(Some words not found in UHB: see/lo/see! into_the,fire put for=food DOM two_of ends,its eating the,fire and,middle,its charred ?,useful for,anything )

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: “If a person throws it into a fire as fuel”
