Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

(Occurrence 0) This would destroy the wet together with the dry

Here the words “wet” and “dry” are metaphors for the righteous people and the wicked people. This forms a merism for “everyone.” Alternate translation: “This would cause Yahweh to destroy both the righteous people and the wicked people in the land” (See also: figs-merism)

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
