# What man is wise enough to understand this?
Yahweh uses this rhetorical question to emphasize that only a very wise person will understand the things he has said. This question can be written as a statement. Alternate translation: "Only people who are very wise can understand these things." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion]])
"Only people who are very wise can understand these things."
# To whom has the mouth of Yahweh spoken, and he will declare it?
Yahweh uses this rhetorical question to emphasize that only the people he has spoken to can declare these things. This question can be written as a statement. Alternate translation: "Only those who have been taught by Yahweh can explain these things to others." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion]])

# Why has the land perished and been made desolate ... pass through?
Yahweh uses this rhetorical question to emphasize that only a wise person could explain why the land has been made desolate. This question can be written as a statement. Alternate translation: "Only a wise person could explain why the land has perished and been made desolate ... pass through." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion]])
"Only a wise person could explain why the land has perished and been made desolate ... pass through."
# has the land perished and been made desolate
This can be stated in active form. Both "perished" and "been made desolate" describe the land being empty of all good things. Alternate translation: "has the land perished? Why has Yahweh made it desolate" or "is the land now empty of all good things" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-doublet]])
"has the land perished? Why has Yahweh made it desolate"
