# The word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah, saying, "Have
|
||
|
|
||
|
This idiom is used to introduce a special message from God. See how you translated a similar phrase in [Jeremiah 1:4](../01/04.md). AT: "Yahweh gave a message to Jeremiah. He said, 'Have" or "Yahweh spoke this message to Jeremiah: 'Have" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]])

# Have you not considered what this people has declared when they said, 'The ... them'?
|
||
|
|

Yahweh wants Jeremiah to think deeply about what the people have said. This rhetorical question can be translated as a statement. AT: "You should have noticed what this people are really saying when they said, 'The ... them.'" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])

# In this way they despise my people, saying ... sight
|
||
|
|
||
|
"What they are really saying is that my people are worthless and that my people will never again be a nation."
|
||
|
|
||
|
# my people ... are no longer a nation in their sight
|
||
|
|
||
|
Sight is a metonym for thinking. AT: "they no longer think of my people as a nation" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
