# to the moles and bats

# the crevices in the rocks ... the clefts of the ragged rocks
|
|
|
|
If your language does not have two different words for "crevice" and "cleft," the space that appears between the two parts of a rock when it splits, you can combine these two phrases into one.

# from the terror of Yahweh
|
|
|

# the glory of his majesty
|
|
|
|
"the great beauty and power he has as king" or "his royal majesty." See how you translated this in [Isaiah 2:10](./09.md).

# when he rises to terrify the earth

|
|
|
|
# whose life-breath is in his nostrils
|
|
|
|
This describes how man is human and weak by emphasizing that he needs to breath to live. AT: "who is weak and will die" or "who needs the breath in his nose to live" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
|
|
|
|
# nostrils
|
|
|
|
the holes in the nose through which people breathe
|
|
|
|
# for what does he amount to?
|
|
|
|
Isaiah uses a question to remind the people of something they should already know. This question can be translated as a statement. AT: "for man amounts to nothing!" or "for man is not worth anything!" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])
