UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

General Information:

In verse 8 Micah begins speaking as if he were one woman speaking to her enemy, another woman. This is perhaps the daughter of Zion (Micah 1:13), who represents the people of Israel, speaking to the “daughter of soldiers” (Micah 5:1), who represents the nations which attacked Israel.

(Occurrence 0) But as for me

(Some words not found in UHB: and,me in/on/at/with,LORD look wait for,God salvation,my hear,me God,my )

Here “me” refers to Micah.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

(Occurrence 0) I will wait for the God of my salvation

(Some words not found in UHB: and,me in/on/at/with,LORD look wait for,God salvation,my hear,me God,my )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word salvation, you can express the same idea with a verbal form. Alternate translation: “I will wait for the God who saves me” or “I will wait for God, who saves me”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

(Occurrence 0) will hear me

(Some words not found in UHB: and,me in/on/at/with,LORD look wait for,God salvation,my hear,me God,my )

The word “hear” represents hearing and acting. Alternate translation: “will act to help me”
