UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

(Occurrence 0) Give them, Yahweh—what will you give them? Give them

(Some words not found in UHB: give to/for=them YHWH what? give give to/for=them womb miscarrying and,breasts dry )

Hosea uses a question to emphasize that he wants Yahweh to give the people of Israel what they deserve. Alternate translation: “This is what I ask you, Yahweh, to give them: give them”

(Occurrence 0) a miscarrying womb

(Some words not found in UHB: give to/for=them YHWH what? give give to/for=them womb miscarrying and,breasts dry )

To “miscarry” means that a pregnancy ends too early and the baby dies. Hosea is asking that all the nation’s women be like that.
