Examples Of Synthetic Parellellelism
Psalm 1

Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers- synthetic parellelism. This verse is synthetic parellism because the second idea expands the first idea. The first part of the verse is: oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked. This part of the verse is saying that people who do not follow what people with bad intentions have to say fair better than people who give in to anything. The writer goes on to make his point clearer by adding another part to the first idea. The other part that goes with the first idea says: or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers. The writer seems to want to make his ideas clear; keeping company with

Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do-synthetic parellism. The first part of this verse gives a metaphor of what particular people that love the Bible are like. The verse compares the spiritually focused people to trees alongside a never ending water stream. The trees never stop giving their fruit because they are constantly nourished with water. The second part of the verse expounds on the first. The second part of the verse gives further evidence that the people who stay focused on God do not lack in any area. The second part of the verse is crucial to the first part because it provides support for the first part of the verse.

But not the wicked! They are like worthless chaff, scattered by the wind.- synthetic parellism. This is synthetic parellism because the second sentence gives the reason why the first sentence is truthful. If this verse did not have the explanation of the second sentence, readers would wonder why the wicked do not prosper in all that they do. This sentence means that the wicked are not committed to the Lord. The wicked do not see time with the Lord as

    Preliminary Statement: I think that this parable means that there are two types of righteousness. One that can be "work righteousness" and the other "gift righteousness." We see this through the tax collector and the Pharisee. The Pharisee thinks that it's his works and religious practices that make him righteous. But the tax collector, whose a sinner, is given the gift of righteousness from Jesus. We think we can work for righteousness but it's really a gift from God because He is the only one that is righteous.…

    He says, “And there the lion’s [i.e. Jesus Christ’s] ruddy eyes / shall flow with tears of gold” (33,34). Then the speaker says, “Wrath by his meekness, / and by his health, sickness” (37,38). Here the poet is referring to how Jesus does not retaliate, and that Jesus protects his people through self-sacrifice. The poet is saying that everyone is a child of God’s great flock and that Jesus is the shepherd. In the final lines of the poem the poet refers to a river. He says, “For, wash’d in life’s river [i.e. heaven]” (45).

    The second portion of the poem brings up the idea that one should have hope that after the struggle, everything will work out for the better. "I feel / not wet so much as / painted and glittered" which gives the idea that the man's struggles may be bad, but they also have their plus sides in the end. This could mean that after all the struggles that the results are worth it. The lines "a bough / that still, after all these years, / could take root, / sprout. Branch out, bud -- / make of its like a breathing / palace of leaves" show that even though the man is in the midst of struggle, there is hope that when it is over there will be a "palace of leaves." Again the language also gives the dealings of hope…

    This quote talks about how no one can be completely independent regardless of what they can do. Our interdependence units us, but it can also become out hamartia if we rely too much on others and lose faith in ourselves. In the middle stanza of the poem, the author states, ¡°you move in your own seasons through the seasons of others.¡± This line insinuates that each decision that we make is influenced by other people to some extend. This society influence can turn out to be good and bad. Each person is like a tree and each decision we make is a branch of the tree. Without a good guidance, it¡¯s very easy for the tree go grow improperly; however, the wrong guidance can also make the tree grow incorrectly. The positive and negative side of things…

    These three trees are particularly fit symbols of Israel, for in Palestine the “Vine,” the “Fig‐tree,” and the “Olive,” stand for the fruitfulness of the land. And the “Vine” and “Fig‐tree” prefigure the Millennial days when every man shall sit under his own “Vine” and “Fig‐tree.” Micah 4:3-4. When Jacob (Israel) was about to die he summoned his sons, and prophesied their future. Of Judah he said that his portion of Canaan should be so full of vineyards that asses should be tethered to the vines, and that the juice should be so plentiful that they would wash their clothes in it as in water.
