# They have spoken falsely about Yahweh and they said
"They have spoken falsely about Yahweh by saying"
# no harm will come upon us, and we will not see sword or famine
These two sentences say the same thing, the second is more specific than the first. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism]])
# no harm will come upon us
The idiom "come upon us" means "happen to us." AT: "No harm will happen to us" or "no one will harm us" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]])
# we will not see sword or famine
Here "see" is a metaphor for experience, and "sword" is a metonym for war. AT: "we will not experience war or famine" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
