UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

(Occurrence 0) Is it not from Yahweh of hosts that peoples labor for fire and all the other nations weary themselves for nothing?

(Some words not found in UHB: am=not see/lo/see! from,with YHWH armies/messengers and,labor peoples in/on/at/with,mere_of fire and,nations in/on/at/with,mere_of nothing exhaust )

This negative rhetorical question emphasizes the positive answer that it anticipates. The two clauses share similar meanings that the work that people do will not last. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this question as a statement. Alternate translation: “Yahweh is the one who has determined that the things that people work hard to build will be destroyed by fire and result in nothing.” (See also: figs-parallelism)

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

(Occurrence 0) peoples labor for fire

(Some words not found in UHB: am=not see/lo/see! from,with YHWH armies/messengers and,labor peoples in/on/at/with,mere_of fire and,nations in/on/at/with,mere_of nothing exhaust )

This means that the things that people labor to build are ultimately destined to be fuel for fire. Alternate translation: “peoples labor to build things that will be used as fuel for fire”
