Amos 5:9
8 But there is one who made the constellations Pleiades and Orion; he can turn the darkness into morning and daylight into night. He summons the water of the seas and pours it out on the earth’s surface. The Lord is his name! 9 He flashes destruction down upon the strong so that destruction overwhelms the fortified places. 10 The Israelites hate anyone who arbitrates at the city gate; they despise anyone who speaks honestly.
Jonathan Amos 5:9
8 They forgot to fear before him who makes the Pleiades and Orion, and turns darkness into light and darkens day into night; who commanded to assemble armies numerous as the waters of the sea and scatters them upon the face of the earth; the Lord is his name. 9 He who makes the weak prevail against the mighty and grants to the plunderers to rule over their strong cities. 10 They hate him who admonishes them in court with words of the law, and they lead astray him who speaks what is right.
Notes and References
"... Amos 5:9 ... the Masoretic text of this verse is untranslatable as it stands and many scholars resort to emendation to a greater or lesser extent. See, for example, R.S. Cripps, A Critical and Exegetical Commentary on the Book of Amos; Hans Walter Wolff, Amos ... The Jewish Publication Society has: “It is he who hurls destruction upon strongholds, so that ruin comes upon fortresses.” The Targum has hešev which obviously translates the second śād of the Masoretic text, and krakheihon taqqifei (“their strong/mighty cities”) is a rendering of Biblical Hebrew mivṣār (“fortress”). Of interest is the observation by Gelston (The Peshitta of the Twelve Prophets) that the first śād of the Masoretic Text has a common rendering by the Syriac and the Targum. Furthermore, Syriac understands this in a sense similar to that of the Targum ..."
