6:8a–b The Lord GOD has sworn by Himself—the LORD, the God of Hosts, has declared:

The Lord Yahweh, ⌊he is⌋ God Almighty ⌊and⌋ has sworn by his life and declared,
-or-
Yahweh the Lord, he is God completely powerful, ⌊he⌋ has surely given his promise by his power. He said this,

6:8c “I abhor Jacob’s pride

“I hate what makes the people of Jacob proud.
-or-
“I do not like how safe the people of Israel feel.

6:8d and detest his citadels,

⌊I also⌋ hate very much their palaces.
-or-

⌊And I⌋ do not like their strong houses.

6:8e so I will deliver up the city and everything in it.”

I will give up the town and everything in it ⌊to their enemies.⌋ ”
-or-

⌊Therefore⌋ , I will make ⌊their enemies⌋ take captive ⌊the people of⌋ the town ⌊of Samaria⌋ and everything in it.”
