# I will give him
Here the word "him" refers to the king of Babylon.
# all the wealth ... all of its riches, all of its precious items and all the treasures
Yahweh repeats the same basic idea four times for emphasis. Babylon will take away all the wealth of Israel, including the king's possessions. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-parallelism]])
# I will place these things in the hand of your enemies
Placing things in people's hands represents giving thing to the people or allowing the people to take the things. Alternate translation: "I will give these things to your enemies" or "I will allow your enemies to take possession of these things" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])
