# Connecting Statement:

|
|
|
James quotes the prophet Amos from the Old Testament.
|
|
|
|
# The words of the prophets agree
|
|
|
|
Here "words" stands for a message. Alternate translation: "What the prophets said agrees" or "The prophets agree" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])
|
|
|
|
# agree with this
|
|
|
|
"confirm this truth"
|
|
|
|
# as it is written
|
|
|
|
This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "as they wrote" or "as the prophet Amos wrote long ago" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]])
