You have stashed in your houses what you have stolen from the poor.36
Footnotes
- 31 The Hebrew text has “nations,” but the preceding and following contexts make it clear that the Lord is judging his covenant people. עָמִים (’amim) should be changed (with support from the ) to עמו. The final mem (ם) on the form in the Hebrew is either dittographic or enclitic. When the mem was added or read as a plural ending, the vav (ו) was then misread as a yod (י).
- 32 The words “he says” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.
- 33 The pronominal element is masculine plural; the leaders are addressed.
- 34 The verb בָּעַר (ba’ar, “graze, ruin”; II בער) is a homonym of the more common בָּעַר (ba’ar, “burn”; see I בער).
- 35 The vineyard is a metaphor for the nation here. See 5:1–7.
- 36 Heb “the plunder of the poor [is] in your houses” (so ).
