# how will Jacob stand? For he is so small.
Here "Jacob" represents his descendants the Israelites. See how you translated this in [Amos 7:2](../07/02.md). The word "stand" is a metonym for surviving. Alternate translation: "how will the Israelites survive? We are so small and weak!" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])
