 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). ​ 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.
