UTNuW Translation Notes:

(Occurrence 0) See

(Some words not found in UHB: behold,I against,you inhabitant the,valley rocky the,plain declares YHWH the,say who? come_down against,us and,who enter in/on/at/with,habitations,our )

This alerts whoever is hearing to pay special attention to what follows. Alternate translation: “Pay attention”

(Occurrence 0) inhabitant of the valley

(Some words not found in UHB: behold,I against,you inhabitant the,valley rocky the,plain declares YHWH the,say who? come_down against,us and,who enter in/on/at/with,habitations,our )

This could mean: (1) this may refer to Jerusalem, which was located above a valley, because “inhabitant” is singular and feminine, as is Jerusalem or (2) this is directed to another city or group of people. Most versions leave the original form rather than specifying the city.

(Occurrence 0) I am against

(Some words not found in UHB: behold,I against,you inhabitant the,valley rocky the,plain declares YHWH the,say who? come_down against,us and,who enter in/on/at/with,habitations,our )

(Some words not found in UHB: behold,I against,you inhabitant the,valley rocky the,plain declares YHWH the,say who? come_down against,us and,who enter in/on/at/with,habitations,our )

These questions are used to state their confidence that they can resist attack. Alternate translation: “No one will attack us! … No one will enter our houses!”
