UTN uW Translation Notes:

(Occurrence 0) Look! The Lord will dispossess her

(Some words not found in UHB: see/lo/see! my=master/master strip,it and,hurl in/on/at/with,sea wealth,her and=she in/on/at/with,fire consumed )

Here “Look!” tells the reader to pay attention to the important statement that follows. Alternate translation: “Pay attention! The Lord will take away Tyre’s possessions”

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

(Occurrence 0) destroy her strength on the sea

(Some words not found in UHB: see/lo/see! my=master/master strip,it and,hurl in/on/at/with,sea wealth,her and=she in/on/at/with,fire consumed )

Tyre’s “strength on the sea” refers to the ships that were used for commerce and conquest. Alternate translation: “destroy Tyre’s ships in which men fight on the sea”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

(Occurrence 0) so she will be devoured by fire

(Some words not found in UHB: see/lo/see! my=master/master strip,it and,hurl in/on/at/with,sea wealth,her and=she in/on/at/with,fire consumed )

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “and enemies will burn the city to the ground”
