Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations.

UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

כְלִיל־הָ⁠עִ֖יר

whole_of the=city

The author is using the term city by association to mean the smoke from the burning city. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [smoke from the whole of the city]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

כְלִיל־הָ⁠עִ֖יר

whole_of the=city

The author is making an overstatement for emphasis. If it would be clearer in your language, you could express the emphasis in a different way. Alternate translation: [smoke from many parts of the city]
