Lamentations 3:47

Context

3:47 Panic and pitfall 1  have come upon us,

devastation and destruction. 2 

1 tn The similar sounding nouns פַּחַד וָפַחַת (pakhad vafakhat, “panic and pitfall”) are an example of paronomasia.

2 tn Similar to the paronomasia in the preceding line, the words הַשֵּׁאת וְהַשָּׁבֶר (hashet vÿhashaver, “devastation and destruction”) form an example of alliteration: the beginning of the words sound alike.
