Yahweh speaks this to the people of Babylon. This can be made clear. AT: "See, I am against you, people of Babylon" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])

# proud one
|
|
|
|
This is Yahweh's description of Babylon.
|
|
|
|
# this is the declaration of the Lord Yahweh of hosts
|
|
|
|
Yahweh speaks of himself by name to express the certainty of what he is declaring. See how you translated this in [Jeremiah 2:19](../02/18.md). AT: "this is what the Lord Yahweh of hosts has declared" or "this is what I, the Lord Yahweh of hosts, have declared" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-123person]])
|
|
|
|
# for your day has come ... the time when I will punish you
|
|
|
|
These two phrases mean the same thing. The second phrase defines the "day" that the first phrase mentions. AT: "for the day when I will punish you has come" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet]])
|
|
|
|
# your day
|
|
|
|
"your time." This refers to the entire span of time during which the horrible judgment will come upon Babylon.
|
|
|
|
# the proud ones will stumble and fall
|
|
|
|
Here "stumble and fall" are idioms that refer to defeat and death. AT: "I will cause enemies to defeat and kill the proud ones" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]])
|
|
|
|
# it will devour everything around him
|
|
|
|
Fire burning the cities of Babylon is spoken of as if the fire were an animal that ate them. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
|
|
|
|
# around him
|
|
|
|
Here "him" refers to the "proud one" which describes Babylon.
