# There is wealth in the houses of the wicked that is dishonest
|
|
|
|
Dishonest wealth is a metonym for wealth that people have gained by acting dishonestly. The words "the wicked" refer to wicked people. Houses are a synecdoche for everything a person possesses. Alternate translation: "Wicked people have acted dishonestly to gain wealth" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-nominaladj]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-synecdoche]])
