Here no answer is expected. The speaker is not asking for information; he is rebuking his hearers.

**Description** - Poetry does this through many different ways that can be different in different languages.

See, for example, Psalm 36:5: See, for example, Psalm 36:5:
Your covenant faithfulness, Yahweh, [reaches] to the heavens; Your covenant faithfulness, Yahweh, reaches to the heavens;
your loyalty [reaches] to the clouds. (ULB) your loyalty reaches to the clouds. (ULB)
This verse of poetry repeats a similar idea in two lines, which is good Hebrew poetic style. Also, there are no verbs in the Hebrew original, which is a different use of grammar than ordinary speech would use. Poetry in your language may have different things that mark it as poetry. When you are translating poetry, try to use the forms of your language that communicate to the reader that this is poetry, and that communicate the same emotions that the source poem is trying to communicate.

Notice that the UDB makes several points explicit: the 'fathers were all under the cloud' tells of the time that God led the Jewish ancestors as a cloud. The statement that 'our fathers passed through the sea' is also about the 'passing through the Red Sea in the time of the exodus.' The UDB translator decided to explicitly describe the historical events.
