# General Information: Yahweh continues giving Ezekiel his message to the house of Israel. # As I live "As surely as I am alive." Yahweh uses this expression to show that what he says next is certainly true. This is a way of making a solemn promise. AT: "I solemnly swear" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]]) # with a mighty hand, a raised arm The words "hand" and "arm" both represent power. AT: "with very great power" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet]]) # fury that will be poured out on you Yahweh speaks of expressing his fury as if the fury were a liquid that he pours on on the people. This can be stated in active form. AT: "fury that I will pour out on you" or "I will express my fury towards you" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]]) # among whom you have been scattered This can be stated in active form. AT: "among whom I have scattered you" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]]) # translationWords * [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/other/reign]] * [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/other/mighty]] * [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/other/hand]] * [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/other/peoplegroup]] * [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/wrath]] * [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/other/desert]] * [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/judge]] * [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/face]]
