1.2 KiB
For look
"For listen carefully." This phrase brings attention to what Yahweh is going to say next.
days are coming ... when I will reverse the captivity
Future time is spoken of as if the "days are coming." See how you translated this metaphor in Jeremiah 7:32. Alternate translation: "in the future ... I will reverse the captivity" or "there will be a time ... when I will reverse the captivity" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor)
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. Alternate translation: "this is what Yahweh has declared" or "this is what I, Yahweh, have declared" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-123person)
reverse the captivity of my people, Israel and Judah
The abstract noun "captivity" can be translated as a verbal clause. See how you translated similar words in Jeremiah 29:14. Alternate translation: "free my people, Israel and Judah, from their captivity" or "free my people, Israel and Judah, from those who had captured them" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-abstractnouns)
