# General Information:
|
|
|
|
God uses a parable about a farmer in a vineyard in order to describe how he will punish a certain nation. That nation is either Ethiopia or Ethiopia's enemy.
|
|
|
|
# This is what Yahweh said to me
|
|
|
|
"Yahweh said to me." Here the word "me" refers to Isaiah.
|
|
|
|
# I will quietly observe from my home
|
|
|
|
What God will observe can be stated clearly. Alternate translation: "I will quietly observe that nation from my home" or "From my home, I will quietly watch what the people of that nation do" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
|
|
|
|
# like the simmering heat in sunshine, like a cloud of mist in the heat of harvest
|
|
|
|
These phrases show how quietly God will watch the nation. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-simile]])
