TSNTyndale Study Notes:

(Some words not found in UHB: and=also I I_give to/for=you_all cleanness teeth in=all cities,your_all's and,lack food/grain/bread in/on/at/with,all places,your_all's and=not return to,me declares YHWH )

Here having clean teeth represents having no food in the mouth to make the teeth dirty. Alternate translation: “I caused you to starve”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

(Occurrence 0) lack of bread

(Some words not found in UHB: and=also I I_give to/for=you_all cleanness teeth in=all cities,your_all's and,lack food/grain/bread in/on/at/with,all places,your_all's and=not return to,me declares YHWH )

Giving them “lack of bread” represents causing them to lack bread, and “bread” represents food in general. Alternate translation: “I caused you not to have enough food”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

(Occurrence 0) you have not returned to me

(Some words not found in UHB: and=also I I_give to/for=you_all cleanness teeth in=all cities,your_all's and,lack food/grain/bread in/on/at/with,all places,your_all's and=not return to,me declares YHWH )

Returning to God represents submitting again to him. Alternate translation: “you have not submitted again to me”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

(Occurrence 0) this is Yahweh’s declaration

(Some words not found in UHB: and=also I I_give to/for=you_all cleanness teeth in=all cities,your_all's and,lack food/grain/bread in/on/at/with,all places,your_all's and=not return to,me declares YHWH )

Yahweh speaks of himself by name to express the certainty of what he is declaring. See how you translated these words in Amos 2:11. Alternate translation: “this is what Yahweh has declared” or “this is what I, Yahweh, have declared”
