Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
Yahweh continues to speak to Babylon about her downfall as if she were a queen who is humiliated. (See also: figs-personification)
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
(Occurrence 0) they will become like stubble. The fire will burn them up
(Some words not found in UHB: see/lo/see! they_were like,stubble fire burns,them not deliver DOM self_of,them from,power flame not coal for,warming fire to,sit before,which )
Yahweh compares the magicians and sorcerers to straw that burns quickly in a fire. This means that Yahweh will destroy them as easily as fire burns stubble, and so they are powerless to save Babylon.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
(Occurrence 0) the hand of the flame
(Some words not found in UHB: see/lo/see! they_were like,stubble fire burns,them not deliver DOM self_of,them from,power flame not coal for,warming fire to,sit before,which )
Here the word “hand” represents strength. Alternate translation: “the power of the flame”
(Occurrence 0) There are no coals to warm them and no fire for them to sit by
(Some words not found in UHB: see/lo/see! they_were like,stubble fire burns,them not deliver DOM self_of,them from,power flame not coal for,warming fire to,sit before,which )
Yahweh emphasizes that this is a destructive fire by stating that it is not one that people will use to warm themselves.
