# Connecting Statement:

Yahweh continues his message about the punishment coming to Judah.
|
|
|
|
# The snorting of his stallions is heard from Dan
|
|
|
|
This can be expressed in active form. Alternate translation: "The people of Dan hear the snorting of his stallions" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
