TSNTyndale Study Notes:

3:1 city of murder: The Assyrians’ graphic cruelty is well documented. Their practices included cutting off external body parts—such as noses, ears, hands, and feet—and execution by impalement on stakes. They heaped up severed heads before the gates of besieged cities. The eyes of victims might also be put out and their skin stripped from their bodies while they were still alive.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

(Occurrence 0) the city full of blood

(Some words not found in UHB: woe (a)_city blood full,she lies plunder full not without prey )

Here the word “blood” represents bloodshed and refers to the people who have committed murder. Alternate translation: “the city full of murderers”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

(Occurrence 0) It is all full of lies

(Some words not found in UHB: woe (a)_city blood full,she lies plunder full not without prey )

Here the word “lies” is a metonym for those who tell lies. Alternate translation: “It is full of liars”
