# Acquiring riches

"Gaining wealth"

# a lying tongue

The tongue is a metonym for the words a person uses the tongue to speak. Alternate translation: "speaking lies" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])

# a fleeting vapor

The writer likens the riches a person gains by lying to a mist that quickly goes away in the morning. Alternate translation: "a disappearing mist" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])

# a snare that kills

The writer speaks of the riches that a person gains by lying as if it were the bait in a hunter's trap; the word "snare" is a metonym for the bait that attracts the animal into the snare. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])
