# I am about to place my word in your mouth
|
|

Here "place my word in your mouth" represents causing Jeremiah to speak God's message. Alternate translation: "I will cause you to speak my message" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

# It will be like a fire, and this people will be like wood
|
|
|
|
Yahweh speaks of his message as if it were a fire, and of his people as if they were wood. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-simile]])

|
# For it will consume them
|
|
|
|
"For my message will consume them." Yahweh's message was about how he would punish his people, so he speaks as if his message would destroy them as a fire destroys wood. Alternate translation: "For when you speak my message, it will destroy the people of Israel as fire destroys wood" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
