UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

(Occurrence 0) Were these not the same words … to the west?

(Some words not found in UHB: am=not DOM the,words which/who he/it_called YHWH in/on/at/with,hand_of the,prophets the,former in/on/at/with,was Yerushalayim inhabited and,prosperous and,towns_of,its surrounding_of,it and,the,Negev and,the,shephelah was_sitting )

Yahweh uses a question to scold the people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this question as a statement. Alternate translation: “These are the same words … to the west.”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

(Occurrence 0) by the mouth of the former prophets

(Some words not found in UHB: am=not DOM the,words which/who he/it_called YHWH in/on/at/with,hand_of the,prophets the,former in/on/at/with,was Yerushalayim inhabited and,prosperous and,towns_of,its surrounding_of,it and,the,Negev and,the,shephelah was_sitting )

Here “mouth” is a metonym for the words spoken by the mouth. Alternate translation: “by the words of the former prophets” or “through the former prophets”

(Occurrence 0) you still inhabited Jerusalem

(Some words not found in UHB: am=not DOM the,words which/who he/it_called YHWH in/on/at/with,hand_of the,prophets the,former in/on/at/with,was Yerushalayim inhabited and,prosperous and,towns_of,its surrounding_of,it and,the,Negev and,the,shephelah was_sitting )
