(Some words not found in UHB: lift_up your_all's=eyes and,see the=(ones_who)_went from,north where the,flock given to/for=you(fs) flock_of_sheep/goats beautiful,your )

Here the word “look” is an idiom that means to pay attention and be aware of what is happening. Also, “Lift up your eyes” represents looking at something. Alternate translation: “Pay attention and be aware of the ones coming from the north” (See also: figs-metonymy)

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

(Some words not found in UHB: lift_up your_all's=eyes and,see the=(ones_who)_went from,north where the,flock given to/for=you(fs) flock_of_sheep/goats beautiful,your )

(Some words not found in UHB: lift_up your_all's=eyes and,see the=(ones_who)_went from,north where the,flock given to/for=you(fs) flock_of_sheep/goats beautiful,your )

This rhetorical question is asked to emphasize that the people of Judah will be captured by the enemy armies. This question is asked as if the people of Judah had already been captured even though this has not yet happened. The question can be written as a statement and in future tense. Alternate translation: “I gave you the people of Judah to care for, like a beautiful flock of sheep, but the enemy army will capture them.” (See also: figs-pastforfuture)
