This adds emphasis to what follows. Alternate translation: “Look and listen”

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

(Occurrence 0) days are coming … when I will

Future time is spoken of as if the “days are coming.” See how you translated this in [Jeremiah 7:32](../07/32.md). Alternate translation: “in the future … I will” or “there will be a time … when I will”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

(Occurrence 0) when I will sound the signal for battle

Yahweh causing an army to attack is spoken of as if he would sound the signal for the battle to start. Alternate translation: “when I will cause the enemy army to sound the signal for battle”

(Occurrence 0) its villages will be set on fire

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “the enemy army will burn their villages”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

(Occurrence 0) For Israel will possess those who possessed him

Here “Israel” represents the people of Israel. “Those” refers to people of Ammon, who represent the land that they took from Israel. Alternate translation: “Then the people of Israel will again possess the land that the people of Ammon took away from them”
