Rich men are spoken of as if they were containers, and people treating each other violently is spoken of as if it were a liquid that could be put into a container. Alternate translation: "The rich men act violently toward everyone" or "The rich men act violently all the time" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
# their tongue in their mouth is deceitful
The tongue is a synecdoche for the person. Alternate translation: "Everything they say is a lie" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-synecdoche]])
