# will I arise
|
|
|
|
To arise or stand up is a metaphor for no longer watching and thinking and instead beginning to act. AT: "will I begin to act" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

# now I will be lifted up; now I will be elevated
|
|
|
|
This can be stated in active form. These two phrases have basically the same meaning and emphasize Yahweh being exalted. AT: "now I will exalt myself and show that I deserve for everyone to honor me" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism]])

# You conceive chaff, and you give birth to stubble
|
|
|
|
This speaks of the Assyrians making plans as if they were conceiving and giving birth to their plans as a mother gives birth to a baby. This speaks of their plans being useless by comparing them to chaff. AT: "You make plans that are as useless as chaff and straw" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

# your breath is a fire that will consume you
|
|
|
|
Here the Assyrians' plans are referred to as their "breath." This speaks of their plans causing them to die as if their plans would literally burn up their bodies. AT: "your plans will cause you to die" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

# The peoples will be burned to lime, as thornbushes are cut down and are burned
|
|
|
|
This compares how the peoples' dead bodies will be burned to the way thornbushes are burned. Also, this can be stated in active form. AT: "Fire will burn the peoples' bodies to lime in the same way that a farmer cuts down thornbushes and burns them" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-simile]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
