# There is a generation whose teeth are swords, and their jawbones are like knives, so they may devour the poor ... and the needy # There is a generation whose teeth are like swords, and their jawbones are like knives, to devour the poor ... and the needy
The people of the generation who speak very harmful things is spoken of as if they were wild animals with teeth and jawbones made of swords and knives, and they eat the poor and needy. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]]) This is a metaphor for being cruel and treating poor and needy people cruelly, like an animal with sharp teeth that tears apart other animals and eats them. The sharp teeth may be a metaphor specifically for cruel words. Devouring the poor and needy may be specifically about taking poor people's possessions, leaving them even poorer. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
