וְלֹֽא־יָדְע֥וּ עֲשׂוֹת־נְכֹחָ֖ה נְאֻם־יְהוָ֑ה הָאֽוֹצְרִ֛ים חָמָ֥ס וָשֹׁ֖ד בְּאַרְמְנֽוֹתֵיהֶֽם׃ (פ)
װאָרום זײ װײסן ניט צו טאָן רעכט, זאָגט גאָט, זײ װאָס זאַמלען גזלה און רױב אין זײערע פּאַלאַצן.
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.)
