3:11Therefore,” says the sovereign Lord, “an enemy will encircle the land.20
He will take away your power;21
your fortresses will be looted.”
Footnotes
- 20 The reads “an enemy and around the land.” It is also possible to take the as an exclamation (“an enemy, and all about the land!”; see S. M. Paul, Amos [Hermeneia], ; ; cf. ). Most scholars and versions emend the text to יְסוֹבֵב (yésovev, Polel imperfect), “will encircle.”
- 21 Heb “He will bring down your power from you.” Some emend the text to read “Your power will be brought down from you.” The shift, however, from an active to a passive sense also appears at 3:14 (“I will destroy Bethel’s altars. The horns of the altar will be cut off.”) The pronouns (“your … you”) are feminine singular, indicating that the personified city of Samaria is addressed here. Samaria’s “power” here is her defenses and/or wealth.
