# See, I am about to give
"Listen carefully! I am the one who will give"
# give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans
Yahweh speaks of the city as if it were a small object that he could put into a person's hand. The word "hand" is a metonym for the power that the hand puts into action. Alternate translation: "put this city under the power of the Chaldeans" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])
