# He has thrown down princes from their thrones
A throne is a chair that a ruler sits on, and it is a symbol of his authority. If a prince is brought down from his throne, it means he no longer has the authority to reign. AT: "He has taken away the authority of princes" or "He has made rulers stop ruling" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche]])
# thrown down princes ... raised up those of low condition
The contrast between these two opposite actions should be made clear in the translation if possible.
# low condition
"poverty." Mary's family was not rich. See how you translated this in [Luke 1:48](./48.md).
# has raised up those of low condition
In this word picture, people who are important are higher than people who are less important. AT: "has made humble people important" or "has given honor to people whom others have not honored" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
