# I will turn your cities into ruins and destroy your sacred places
|

Because God would send armies to do these things, he speaks as if he would do them. Alternate translation: "I will send enemy armies to turn your cities into ruins and destroy your sacred places" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])

# I will not be pleased with the aroma of your offerings

Normally the Lord's pleasure with the aroma represents his pleasure with those who burn the offering. But in this case, people would burn offerings, but God would not be pleased with them. Alternate translation: "You will burn offerings, but I will not be pleased with you" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
