* It shows that something is very important by saying it more than once and in more than one way.
* It helps the hearer to think more deeply about the idea by saying it in different ways.
* It makes the language more beautiful and above the ordinary way of speaking.

* It makes the expression of ideas more beautiful and above the ordinary way of speaking.
Note: We use the term "synonymous parallelism" for long phrases or clauses that have the same meaning. We use the term [Doublet](../figs-doublet/01.md) for words or very short phrases that mean basically the same thing and are used together.
#### Reason this is a translation issue
Speakers of some languages do not use synonymous parallelism. If there are two phrases or sentences, they expect them to have different meanings. Consequently they do not understand taht the repetition of ideas serves to emphasize the idea.
### Examples from the Bible
**The second clause or phrase means the same as the first.**

**The second clarifies or strengthens the meaning of the first.**

**The second completes what is said in the first.**
#####The second completes what is said in the first.
>I lift up my voice to Yahweh,
>and he answers me from his holy hill. (Psalm 3:4 ULB)
The second line tells what Yahweh does in response to what the person does in the first clause.
**The second says something that contrasts with the first, but adds to the same idea.**
#####The second says something that contrasts with the first, but adds to the same idea.
>For Yahweh approves of the way of the righteous,
>but the way of the wicked will perish. (Psalm 1:6 ULB)
