The word "behold" here alerts us to pay attention to the surprising information that follows.
|
|
|
|
# this is Yahweh's declaration
|
|
|
|
Yahweh speaks of himself by name to express the certainty of what he is declaring. See how you translated this in [Jeremiah 1:8](../01/07.md). AT: "this is what Yahweh has declared" or "this is what I, Yahweh, have declared" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-123person]])

|
# when it will no longer be said
|
|
|
|
This can be stated in active form. AT: "when people will no longer say" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
|
|
|
|
# As Yahweh lives
|
|
|
|
"As surely as Yahweh is alive." The people use this expression to show that what they say next is certainly true. This is a way of making a solemn promise. See how you translated this in [Jeremiah 4:2](../04/01.md). AT: "I solemnly swear" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]])
