1.0 KiB
But I say, "Did they not hear?" Yes, most certainly
Paul uses a question for emphasis. AT: "But, I say the Jews certainly have heard the message about Christ." (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion, rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-quotations)
Their sound has gone out into all the earth, And their words to the ends of the world
Both of these statements mean basically the same thing and are used for emphasis. The word "their" refers to the sun, moon, and stars. Here they are described as human messengers that tell people about God. This refers to how their existence testifies to God's power and glory. It can be made explicit that Paul is quoting Scripture here. AT: "As it is written in the Scriptures, 'The sun, moon, and the stars are proof of God's power and glory, and everyone in the world sees them and knows the truth about God'" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-personification and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit)
