# Out of his mouth goes a sharp sword

# rule them with an iron rod
|
|
|

# He tramples in the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty
|
|
|
|
John speaks of the rider's destroying his enemies as if they were grapes that a person tramples in a winepress. Here "wrath" refers to God's punishment of evil persons. AT: "He crushes his enemies according to the judgment of God Almighty, just as a person crushes grapes in a winepress" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])

# He has a name written on his robe and on his thigh:
|
|
|
|
This can be stated in active form. AT: "Someone has written a name on his robe and thigh:" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
