# For three sins of ... even for four # For three sins of ... even for four ... I will not turn away punishment
This is a poetic device. It does not mean that a specific number of sins had been committed, but indicates that many sins had led to God's judgment. See how you translated these words in [Amos 1:3](../01/03.md). See how you translated these words in Amos 1:3 and 2:1.
# Judah # Judah
This represents the people of Judah. Alternate translation: "the people of Judah" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]]) "the people of Judah"
# I will not turn away punishment # after which their fathers had also walked
Yahweh uses two negatives here to emphasize that he will punish them. See how you translated these words in [Amos 1:3](../01/03.md). (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-litotes]]) "which their ancestors also followed" or "the same lies that their ancestors followed"
# Their lies
This expression here probably refers to worshiping false gods or idols. Alternate translation: "Their worship of idols" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
# go astray ... walked
Worshiping false gods is spoken of as if people were walking behind them. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
