# manure pile

People use manure to fertilize gardens and fields. Salt without taste is so useless it is not even worth mixing with manure. AT: "compost heap" or "fertilizer"
|

|
# It is thrown away

This can be stated in active form. AT: "Someone just throws it away" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])

# He who has ears to hear, let him hear
|
|
|
|
It may be more natural in some languages to use the second person: "You who have ears to hear, hear" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-123person]])
|
|
|
|
# He who has ears to hear
|
|
|
|
Possible meanings are 1) "Everyone," since normal people have ears, or 2) "Whoever has the ability to understand," which refers to those who are willing to listen to God. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]])
