# General Information:
|
|
|
|
Yahweh continues speaking to the people of Israel.
|
|
|
|
# When you pass through the waters ... the flames will not destroy you
|
|
|
|
Yahweh speaks of suffering and difficult experiences as if they are deep waters and fires through which the people walk. The words "waters" and "flames" form a merism and emphasize any difficult circumstance. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-merism]])

|
|
# When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you
|
|
|
|
These two statements mean basically the same thing and emphasize that the people will experience no harm because Yahweh is with them. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-parallelism]])
|
|
|
|
# you will not be burned
|
|
|
|
This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "it will not burn you" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]])
