7. (1) What are some of the repeated verses in chapter 39? What have you learned from these verses?
How ironic, that Samson, a broken and fallen pillar, was use to bring down the symbolic system of opposition to God.
In Quote #3 it talks about God being cruel and if he wasn’t no one would worship him. It says, “All gods dispense
Judges 5: 24-27 defines the extent of Lowth’s parallelism and goes further than what he previously conceived and through the analysis of this Hebrew poetry that describes the death of Sisera at the hands of Jael, many instances of parallelism are used along with this order of consequentiality and repetition and patterning in order to convey a vivid sense of imagery.
39 where Jesus speaks about revenge. It reads, "You have heard that it was said,
10) When the prodigal had squandered all that he had with riotous living, he joined himself to a member of the far country who treated him shamefully by making him, a Jew, tend to swine which was forbidden by the law for a Jew to even touch. The devil will always humiliate us (by treating us shamefully) when we leave the Father for the things of the world and this may be God’s mercy in action as he tries to draw us back to
The passage of the simile is the first verse paragraph following several prose paragraphs. The structure of the verse is loose in following rhythmic or syllabic patterns. Although the form does not have any specific significance to the content, perhaps it is written in verse to sound somewhat poetic. Because the scene is very descriptive and dramatic, it is fitting to write it in a poem-like structure rather than simple prose.
Lines 440-441: “ He hath a person and a smooth dispose/ To be suspected, framed to make women false.”
used to treat the false prophets.” This particular verse is saying that while at the moment your well fed, happy, and everyone speaks highly of you at some point you will be hungry, you will mourn, and you will get spoke about badly. This passage signifies that one should be content with what they have in the very present, for it will be gone at some point. Another point the passage that is significant is that while some are blessed with certain things at the moment and others are not, those who do not have the blessing others have will eventually have their happiness, and wealth. Everyone has different times of need and different times of satisfaction. The contradicting side of this verse is one thinking that because a person is happy that it will just go away all do to it being stated like one cannot always be happy. Or that laughter will soon turn into weeping and the same idea to go with getting spoken highly of, everything good will soon be nonexistent in ones life all because they once had
So powerful is the compulsion of the law, that even if a man slays one who is his own chattel [i.e., his slave] and who has none to avenge him, his fear of the ordinances of god and of man causes him to purify himself and withhold himself from those places prescribed by law, in the hope that by so doing he will best avoid disaster.
During the days of the Great Tribulation there will be a Trinity of Evil; something that tries to replace and at the same time oppose the Trinity of God. Composing this trio of evil will be the red dragon, who is really Satan, a false prophet, and the Antichrist. These three will work together to compound evil and create a religious system that strives to promote the worship of the beast and the dragon. At first it will seem like the Antichrist is able to solve all problems and the world is entering a unprecedented era of peace and tranquility under his leadership; however, once he lets his true nature show, there is no room for love.
In the last section, the first stanza is ‘a poem should be equal to: but not true’. A poem should not have an ‘absolute’ meaning, but equal...
I find parallelism in the language as well as in the central image of the two men walking along a wall. I find it in phrasings like "To each the boulders that have fallen to each." "And some are loaves and some so nearly balls." "Walling in or walling out." I find it most centrally in "Good fences make good neighbors," whose neat parallelism contrasts in my mind with the redundancy, the tangled, circling syntax of "Something there is that doesn't love a wall."
