said surely fear DOM,me accept correction and=not cut_off dwelling,her all which/who appointed on/upon=it(f)

In this quotation, Yahweh first speaks directly to the city of Jerusalem in the second person, and then he speaks about that city in the third person. If it would help your readers appreciate what Yahweh is saying, you could translate the entire quotation in the third person. Alternate translation: “I said, ‘Surely she will fear me; she will take correction. Then her dwelling will not be cut off by all that I have visited upon her.’”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

said surely fear DOM,me accept correction and=not cut_off dwelling,her all which/who appointed on/upon=it(f)

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “I said that she would surely fear me; she would take correction. Then her dwelling would not be cut off by all that I had visited upon her”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

said surely fear DOM,me accept correction and=not cut_off dwelling,her all which/who appointed on/upon=it(f)

Yahweh is speaking to and about the city of Jerusalem as if it were a person who could fear him and take correction. He is actually speaking to and about the people who live in Jerusalem. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. See what you did in 3:1–5. Alternate translation: “I said that the people of Jerusalem would surely fear me; they would take correction. Then their dwelling would not be cut off by all that I had visited upon them”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

כֹּ֥ל אֲשֶׁר־פָּקַ֖דְתִּי עָלֶ֑י⁠הָ

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

הִשְׁכִּ֣ימוּ הִשְׁחִ֔יתוּ כֹּ֖ל עֲלִילוֹתָֽ⁠ם

eager corrupt all deeds,their

Yahweh is using the expression rose early to mean that the people were eager to do corrupt things. The expression comes from the way that people get up early in the morning to do something if they are eager to do it. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “they eagerly corrupted all of their deeds”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

הִשְׁכִּ֣ימוּ הִשְׁחִ֔יתוּ כֹּ֖ל עֲלִילוֹתָֽ⁠ם
