Mazmur 106:40

106:40 So the Lord was angry with his people ¹ 

and despised the people who belong to him. ² 

Amos 6:8

6:8 The sovereign Lord confirms this oath by his very own life. ³ 

The Lord, the God who commands armies, is speaking:

“I despise Jacob’s arrogance;

I hate their ⁴  fortresses.

I will hand over to their enemies ⁵  the city of Samaria ⁶  and everything in it.”

[106:40]  ¹ tn Heb “the anger of the Lord burned against his people.”

[106:40]  ² tn Heb “his inheritance.”

[6:8]  ³ tn Heb “swears by his life”; or “swears by himself.”

[6:8]  ⁴ tn Heb “his,” referring to Jacob, which stands here for the nation of Israel.

[6:8]  ⁵ tn The words “to their enemies” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

[6:8]  ⁶ tn Heb “the city”; this probably refers to the city of Samaria (cf. 6:1), which in turn, by metonymy, represents the entire northern kingdom.
