# For when you go ... does not ... does not ... does not ... into prison

A person guilty of harming his neighbor and needing to make restitution before the neighbor has the judge put him in jail is a metaphor for Jesus' hearers' need to repent of their sins before God condemns them on the day of judgment. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

# when you go

Though Jesus is talking to a crowd, the situation he is presenting is something that a person would go through alone. So in some languages the word "you" would be singular. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-you]])

# settle the matter with him

"settle the matter with your adversary"

# the judge

This refers to the magistrate, but the term here is more specific and threatening.

# does not deliver you

"does not take you"
