2.  Progressive,  in  which   the  second  line
expresses  a  new  idea  more  or  less  closely  re
lated  to  the  first ;  as  in  Job  iii.  17 :

There  the  wicked  cease  from  troubling  ;
And  there  the  weary  be  at  rest.
3.  Synthetic  or  constructive,  in  which  there
is  parallelism  of  structure  only,  while  the
thought  of  one  line  serves  as  the  foundation
upon  which  to  build  a  new  thought ;  as  Ps.
xxv.  12 :

What  man  is  he  that  feareth  the  Lord  ?
Him  shall  he  instruct  in  the  way  that  he
shall  choose  ;


or  Prov.  xx vi.  4  :

Answer  not  a  fool  according  to  his  folly,
Lest  thou  also  be  like  unto  him ;

or  Ps.  xxiv.  9  :

Lift  up  your  heads,  O  ye  gates ;

Yea,  lift  them  up,  ye  everlasting  doors  :

And  the  King  of  glory  shall  come  in.
4.  Climactic,  in  which  the  characteristic
words  are  repeated  and  form  the  ladder  on
which  the  thought  climbs  to  completion  or
to  emphatic  reiteration  ;  as  in  Ps.  xxix.  5 :

The  voice  of  the  Lord  breaketh  the  cedars  ;
Yea,  the  Lord  breaketh  in  pieces  the  cedars
of  Lebanon ;

and  in  Ps.  cxxi.  3,  4 :

He  will  not  suffer  thy  foot  to  be  moved :
He  that  keepeth  thee  will  not  slumber ;
Behold,  he  that  keepeth  Israel
Shall  neither  slumber  nor  sleep.
5.  Antithetic,  in  \vhich  the  thought  is  made
more  clear  by  contrast ;  as  in  Mat.  viii.  20 :

The  foxes  have  holes,
And  the  birds  of  the  air  have  nests ;
But  the  Son  of  man  hath  not  where  to  lay
his  head.
