# My tent is devastated, and all of my tent cords are cut in two
Here Jeremiah speaks of the enemy having destroyed their city as if their tent had been destroyed. Alternate translation: "It is as though our great tent is destroyed; the ropes that held it up have been cut" or "The enemy has completely destroyed our city" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
"The enemy has completely destroyed our city"
# My tent is devastated
This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "My enemy has devastated my tent" or "Our enemy has destroyed our tent" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]])
"My enemy has devastated my tent" or "Our enemy has destroyed our tent"
# They have taken my children away from me
Here Jeremiah represents the whole tribe of Israel. Alternate translation: "Our enemies have taken our children away from us" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-synecdoche]])
"Our enemies have taken our children away from us"
# so they no longer exist
The children no longer existing is a metaphor for the parents never seeing them again. Alternate translation: "and it is like they no longer exist" or "and they will never return again" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
"and it is like they no longer exist" or "and they will never return again"
# There is no longer anyone to spread out my tent or to raise up my tent curtains

"There is no one to rebuild our city"
