# General Information:
# the Amorite
The words "them" and "you" in these verses both refer to the people of Israel.
# Connecting Statement:
Yahweh continues his message of judgment on the people of Israel.
"the Amorites" or "the Amorite people"
# whose height was like the height of cedars; he was strong as the oaks
This is an exaggeration. It describes how tall and strong the Amorite people were and compares them to the tallest and strongest trees in that region. Alternate translation: "who were tall and strong like great trees" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-hyperbole]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-simile]])
# cedars
cedar trees
# oaks
oak trees
"who were tall like cedar trees and strong like oak trees"
# Yet I destroyed his fruit above and his roots below
How Yahweh completely destroyed the Amorites is pictured as a tree being destroyed from top to bottom. Alternate translation: "Yet I destroyed them completely" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-idiom]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-merism]])
"Yet I destroyed them completely"
