## translationNotes

* **the valley will perish and the plain will be devastated** - These two phrases share similar meanings and are combined for emphasis. AT: "Towns in the valleys and on the plains will all be destroyed, (See: [[:en:ta:vol2:translate:figs_doublet]])
* **Give wings to Moab** - This command is an exaggeration, because no one can put wings on people. Also, the idea of flying away represents the idea of rapidly running away. AT: "Help the people of Moab escape," "It would be good if the people of Moab had wings and could fly away." (See: [[:en:ta:vol2:translate:figs_hyperbole]], [[:en:ta:vol2:translate:figs_metonymy]])
* **shedding blood** - AT: "killing people" (See: [[:en:ta:vol2:translate:figs_metonymy]])
