If your language can only use active verbs and has some other way to emphasize the idea, you may want to use it here. Alternate translation: "I will build you up again. Remember this: I will build you" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-parallelism]]) +"I will build you up again. Remember this: I will build you". Yahweh is speaking to the people of Israel. # virgin Israel -It was common to refer to nations as if they were women. However, "virgin" makes a person think about a young woman who has never married and so has never had the opportunity to be faithless to her husband. Therefore, calling Israel a virgin is an ironic use of language. See how you translated this in [Jeremiah 18:13](../18/13.md). Alternate translation: "Israel, who falsely pretends to be fully devoted to me" or "my faithless people Israel" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-personification]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-irony]]) +"Israel, who falsely pretends to be fully devoted to me". The word "virgin" makes a person think about a young woman who has never married and has never had the opportunity to be faithless. Calling Israel this is ironic. See Jeremiah 18:13. # tambourines -musical instruments with heads like a drum that can be hit and with pieces of metal around their sides that sound when the instruments are shaken (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/translate-unknown]]) - +musical instruments with heads like a drum that can be hit, with pieces of metal around their sides that sound when shaken \ No newline at end of file
