# General Information:
Isaiah speaks to Yahweh in the form of a poem. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-parallelism]])
# Their land is full of silver and gold ... their land also is full of horses
Isaiah speaks as if the land were a container in which someone had placed silver, horses, and idols. The word "land" is a metonym for the people themselves, and the words "is full of" is a metaphor for the people possessing these items. Alternate translation: "They possess much silver and gold ... they also possess many horses" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])
