# this is the declaration of the Lord Yahweh, the God of hosts
|
|
|

Yahweh speaks of himself by name to express the certainty of what he is declaring. See how you translated this in [Amos 3:13](../03/13.md). Alternate translation: "this is what the Lord Yahweh, the God of hosts, has declared" or "this is what I, the Lord Yahweh, the God of hosts, have declared" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-123person]])

# I detest the pride of Jacob
|
|
|
|
Here "Jacob" represents his descendants. Alternate translation: "I hate the descendants of Jacob because they have become arrogant" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])

# I hate his fortresses
|
|
|
|
It is implied that Yahweh hates the fortresses because the people believed the fortresses would keep them safe. Alternate translation: "I hate the people of Israel because they trust in their fortresses, not in me, to protect them" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]])
