UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

(Occurrence 0) How Babylon has been captured … How Babylon has become a ruined place

(Some words not found in UHB: how captured Sheshach and,seized praise all/each/any/every the=earth/land how she/it_was as,horror Babel in/on/at/with,nations )

The word “how” here shows that something that people thought was impossible has happened. 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: “We never thought that enemies could capture Babylon, but they have captured her … We never thought that Babylon could become a ruined place, but it has become a ruined place”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

(Occurrence 0) the praise of all the earth is seized

(Some words not found in UHB: how captured Sheshach and,seized praise all/each/any/every the=earth/land how she/it_was as,horror Babel in/on/at/with,nations )

The word “praise” is a metonym for the thing that people praised, and the word “earth” is a metonym for the people living on the earth. This can be translated in active form. Alternate translation: “enemies have seized Babylon, the nation that everyone on earth praised” (See also: figs-activepassive)
