# I will draw my sword from its sheath and cut off both the righteous person and the wicked person from you
This speaks of Yahweh causing these people to die as if he actually killed them with his own sword. AT: "I am opposed to you, and it will be as though I pull my sword from its sheath to kill both the righteous and the wicked people among you" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
# the righteous person and the wicked person
"righteous people and wicked people." This refers to multiple people, not just one righteous person and one wicked person.
# sheath
something that holds and covers a sword when no one is using it
# cut off
This is a euphemism that means to kill. AT: "kill" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-euphemism]])
