UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

(Occurrence 0) Ask the nations, who has ever heard of such a thing as this?

(Some words not found in UHB: for=so/thus/hence thus he/it_had_said YHWH ask now in/on/at/with,nations who? heard like,this horrible done very virgin Yisrael )

Here the word “nations” represents the people in the nations. Yahweh asks this question to scold the people of Judah. Alternate translation: “Ask the nations if any of them have ever heard of such a thing as this.” or “Nowhere on earth has anyone ever heard of such a thing like this.”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

(Occurrence 0) The virgin Israel has committed a horrible act

(Some words not found in UHB: for=so/thus/hence thus he/it_had_said YHWH ask now in/on/at/with,nations who? heard like,this horrible done very virgin Yisrael )

It was common to refer to nations as if they were women. Yahweh speaks of Israel being pure and faithful towards him as if she were a virgin and of Israel being unfaithful to him as if she had “committed a horrible act.” Alternate translation: “Israel, who is like a virgin, has done something horrible” (See also: figs-metaphor)
