Here "eyes" represents seeing. Also, Yahweh speaks of himself in third person. Alternate translation: "I, the Lord Yahweh, see that the people of this kingdom are very sinful" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-123person]])

# the house of Jacob
|
|
|
|
The word "house" is a metonym for the family that lives in the house. In this case it refers to Jacob's descendants. They were the people of Israel. See how you translated this in [Amos 3:13](../03/13.md). Alternate translation: "the descendants of Jacob" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])
