# Yahweh of hosts ... says this

Jeremiah often uses these words to introduce an important message from Yahweh. See how you translated this in [Jeremiah 6:6](../06/06.md).

|
# I am about to set my face against you
|
|
|
|
This idiom means he "firmly decided." See how you translated a similar phrase in [Jeremiah 21:10](../21/08.md). AT: "I have made up my mind to oppose you" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]])

# to bring disaster to you

Here "fall" means to die. And "sword" represents the enemies carrying weapons. AT: "Enemies will kill some of them and others will die of hunger" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])

This is a way to refer to people from every social status. Here "least" and "greatest" represent those who are least important and those who are most important. AT: "all the people from every social status" or "all the people, including the least important and the most important people" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-merism]])
