UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rpronouns

(Occurrence 0) Do not entrust yourself to deceitful words and say

(Some words not found in UHB: not trust to/for=you_all to/towards words the,deceptive to=say temple_of YHWH temple_of YHWH temple_of YHWH they(emph) )

The reflexive pronoun “yourself” emphasizes the personal risk to the Israelites. Alternate translation: “Do not trust in deceitful words to protect you, saying”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

(Occurrence 0) Temple of Yahweh! Temple of Yahweh! Temple of Yahweh!

(Some words not found in UHB: not trust to/for=you_all to/towards words the,deceptive to=say temple_of YHWH temple_of YHWH temple_of YHWH they(emph) )

It is implied that, since the temple belongs to Yahweh and represents his presence, he will protect it and the people of Judah will be safe. Possible meanings for why Temple of Yahweh is repeated three times are (1) it was repeated for emphasis or (2) it was repeated as part of a temple liturgy. Alternate translation: “This is the temple of Yahweh so it is absolutely certain that no one will destroy it and we are safe.”
