וְלֹֽא־יָדְע֥וּ עֲשׂוֹת־נְכֹחָ֖ה נְאֻם־יְהוָ֑ה הָאֽוֹצְרִ֛ים חָמָ֥ס וָשֹׁ֖ד בְּאַרְמְנֽוֹתֵיהֶֽם׃ (פ)
Mereka tidak tahu berbuat yang lurus, demikianlah firman Yang Mahakekal, mereka yang menimbun kekerasan dan rampasan di dalam istana-istana mereka.
Mekhilta DeRabbi Yishmael
Similarly, (Amos 3:8) "The lion has roared. Who will not fear? (The L–rd G–d has spoken. Who will not prophesy?") Who has given power and strength to the lion? Is it not He? (i.e., What need have we, then, of epithets?) We use the epithet of His creations to "help" the ear (by what it is accustomed to hear.)
