1.1 KiB
How good and how beautiful they will be!
This is an exclamation, and not a question. Alternate translation: "They will be very good and beautiful!" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-exclamations)
The young men will flourish on grain and the virgins on sweet wine!
This sentence uses a parallel structure to express that everyone will have plenty to eat and drink. If your readers might think that only the men ate and only the women drank, you may want to adjust the wording. Alternate translation: "All of the people, both men and women, will have plenty of grain to eat and sweet wine to drink!" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-parallelism)
The young men ... the virgins
These two phrases are parallel and together represent the entire population of Israel. (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-parallelism and rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-synecdoche)
grain ... sweet wine
These two phrases are parallel and together represent all of the different kinds of the food and drink. (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-parallelism and rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-synecdoche)
