# the word of Yahweh came to me, saying, "Do not
This idiom is used to introduce a special message from God. See how you translated it in [Jeremiah 1:4](../01/04.md). AT: "Yahweh gave me a message. He said,'Do not" or "Yahweh spoke this message to me:" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]])
# They will die diseased deaths
"They will die from deadly diseases"
# They will not be mourned or buried
This can be stated in active form. AT: "No one will mourn for them or bury them" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
# They will be like dung on the ground
The sons and daughters born in the land are compared to dung on the ground to emphasize that they will be disgusting and that no one will bury them. See how you translated a similar phrase in [Jeremiah 8:2](../08/01.md). (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-simile]])
# they will come to an end by sword and famine

AT: "they will die in battle or from famine" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-euphemism]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
