Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations.

ULT The voice of Yahweh is making a proclamation to the city—
⇔ even now wisdom acknowledges your name:
⇔ “Pay attention to the rod,
⇔ and to the one who has put it in place.[fn]
Instead of the Hebrew text’s reading of Pay attention to the rod and to the one who has put it into place, some modern versions have Listen, tribe, and those assembled together in the city.
UST God says this: “I am Yahweh, so if you are wise, you should honor me.
⇔ I am calling out to you people of Jerusalem to tell you this:
⇔ The armies that will destroy your city are coming,
⇔ so pay careful attention to me, the one who is causing them to punish you with my rod.
BSB ⇔ The voice of the LORD calls out to the city
⇔ (and it is sound wisdom to fear Your name):

⇔ I am calling out to you people of Jerusalem,
⇔ ‘The armies [MET] that will destroy your city are coming,
