UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

(Occurrence 0) They are constantly saying

(Some words not found in UHB: ones_saying to_say to,despise,me he/it_had_said YHWH peace will_belong to/for=you_all and=all/each/any/every follow in/on/at/with,stubbornness his/its=heart say not come upon,you_all calamity )

The word “constantly” is an exaggeration to emphasize that this is what they normally say.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

(Occurrence 0) everyone walking in the stubbornness of his own heart says

Here “heart” refers to their desires. To follow those desires is spoken of as walking in them. Alternate translation: “everyone stubbornly does whatever they desire to do”

(Occurrence 0) Disaster will not come upon you

Alternate translation: “Nothing bad will happen to you”
