# cut off from you every male child in Israel
|
|
|
|
Yahweh speaks of destroying Jeroboam's family and preventing him from having any descendants as if he were cutting them off as one would cut a branch from a tree. Alternate translation: "destroy every one of your male children in Israel" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

# will completely remove your family, like someone who burns up dung until it is gone
|
|
|

This simile compares the removal of every descendant of Jeroboam with the complete burning up of dung that was mixed with straw, dried, and burned for fuel. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-simile]])
