UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / apostrophe

Yahweh speaks to the people of Jerusalem, who could hear him, as if he were speaking to the people of Babylon, who could not hear him.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

(Occurrence 0) I will stretch out my hand against you

(Some words not found in UHB: look,I against,you mountain the,destroying declares YHWH the,destroys DOM all/each/any/every the=earth/land and,stretch_out DOM hand,my against,you and,roll_~_down,you from/more_than the,cliffs and,make,you into,mountain burned-out )

The word “hand” is a metonym for the power that the hand exercises. See how “I will attack the inhabitants of the land with my hand” is translated in Jeremiah 6:12. Alternate translation: “I will use my strength to attack you”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

(Occurrence 0) I will … roll you down from the cliffs

Yahweh stops speaking of Babylon as a mountain and speaks of it as a building that he is breaking down and throwing away.

(Occurrence 0) cliffs

A cliff is the steep side of a mountain or hill.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

(Occurrence 0) I will … make you a burned-out mountain

Yahweh speaks of Babylon as no longer being the great “mountain of destruction” but now a mountain that he has destroyed. Alternate translation: “I will … make you a pile of useless rocks”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

(Occurrence 0) this is Yahweh’s declaration

Yahweh speaks of himself by name to express the certainty of what he is declaring. See how you translated this in Jeremiah 1:8. Alternate translation: “this is what Yahweh has declared” or “this is what I, Yahweh, have declared”
