# why will you be like a stranger in the land ... Why are you like someone who is astounded
|
|
|

These two question have similar meanings. They both ask if Yahweh is unconcerned with his people and unable to help them. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism]])

# Why are you like someone who is astounded, or like a warrior who has no power to rescue
|
|
|
|
This speaks of the possibility of Yahweh being unable to help his people as if he were a confused warrior who was unable to rescue anyone. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-simile]])

# astounded
|

unable to understand or to think clearly
|

|
|
# your name is called over us
|
|

|
This can be stated in active form. This speaks of the people being Yahweh's people by saying that his name is over them. Alternate translation: "we bear your name" or "we are your people" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]])
