BrTr The Lord's voice shall be proclaimed in the city, and he shall save those that fear his name: hear, O tribe; and who shall order the city?

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]

UST God says this: “I am Yahweh, so if you are wise, you should honor me.

⇔ 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.

6:9 This is taken to mean the “rod” of punishment through the invasion by foreign armies.

T4T “I am Yahweh, so if you are wise, you should revere me.
⇔ I am calling out to you people of Jerusalem,
⇔ ‘The armies [MET] 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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

(Occurrence 0) even now wisdom acknowledges your name

(Some words not found in UHB: sound/voice YHWH to_the,city he/it_called/named and,sound_wisdom he/it_will_see your(ms)=name hear rod and,who appointed,it )

Wisdom is spoken of as a person and is a metonym for the wise person. Alternate translation: “and the wise person will fear you”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

(Occurrence 0) Pay attention to the rod, and to the one who has put it in place

(Some words not found in UHB: sound/voice YHWH to_the,city he/it_called/named and,sound_wisdom he/it_will_see your(ms)=name hear rod and,who appointed,it )

Here “rod” refers to the enemy army with which Yahweh, who “has put it in place,” will discipline his people.
