Raw Blame History

For three sins of ... even for four

This is a poetic device. It does not mean that a specific number of sins had been committed, but indicates that many sins had led to God's judgment. See how you translated these words in Amos 1:3.

Judah

This represents the people of Judah. Alternate translation: "the people of Judah" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)

I will not turn away punishment

Yahweh uses two negatives here to emphasize that he will punish them. See how you translated these words in Amos 1:3. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-litotes)

Their lies

This expression here probably refers to worshiping false gods or idols. Alternate translation: "Their worship of idols" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)

go astray ... walked

Worshiping false gods is spoken of as if people were walking behind them. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
