I remember reading somewhere that Hebrew poetry uses repetition a lot, instead of rhyme (and maybe meter). In [[Isaiah 2]], this is really evident. The helpful part of this is that if you don't understand a phrase or sentence, the prophet always repeats himself, so you have a pair of analogies to use as similar sayings. They are often finished by testimony or admonition. | I remember reading somewhere that Hebrew poetry uses repetition a lot, instead of rhyme (and maybe meter).
