The Repetition of different Words in successive Sentences in the same Order and the same Sense<\/p>\n
Sym-plo-kee, from (sun), together with, and (plokee), a folding. An intertwining of two different words in a similar order: one at the beginning and the other at the end of successive sentences.<\/p>\n
It is a combination of Anaphora (q.v. [Note: Which see.] ) and Epistrophe (q.v. [Note: Which see.] ).<\/p>\n
The Latins called it COMPLEXIO, combination, and COMPLICATIO, a folding together.<\/p>\n
When phrases or sentences are thus repeated, instead of single words, it is called Cnotes (q.v. [Note: Which see.] ).<\/p>\n
Though there may be more than one word in the English, it does not follow that there is more than one in the original.<\/p>\n
Isa 2:7-8.-We have it in alternate lines:<\/p>\n
Their land also is full of silver and gold,<\/p>\n
Neither is there any end of their treasures;<\/p>\n
Their land is also full of horses.<\/p>\n
Neither is there any end of their chariots;<\/p>\n
Their land also is full of idols, etc.<\/p>\n
Isa 65:13-14.-Thus saith the Lord God,<\/p>\n
Behold my servants shall eat,<\/p>\n
But ye shall be hungry.<\/p>\n
Behold my servants shall drink,<\/p>\n
But ye shall be thirsty.<\/p>\n
Behold my servants shall rejoice,<\/p>\n
But ye shall be ashamed.<\/p>\n
Behold my servants shall sing for joy of heart,<\/p>\n
But ye shall cry for sorrow of heart.<\/p>\n
In the last two lines we have Epistrophe in the word heart.<\/p>\n
Jer 9:23 (22).-Here, in the Hebrew, the three sentences begin, Let him not glory (, al-yithhalleyl), and each ends with the pronominal suffix , his.<\/p>\n
1Co 12:4-6.-Here in the Greek each verse begins With diversities or differences (, diaireseis), and ends with the same (, autos).<\/p>\n
1Co 14:15.-Here the two words repeated and emphasized by Symploce are the spirit and the understanding.<\/p>\n
1Co 15:42-44.-Here we have four pairs, a kind of double Anaphora.<\/p>\n
It is sown in corruption;<\/p>\n
It is raised in incorruption.<\/p>\n
It is sown in dishonour;<\/p>\n
It is raised in glory.<\/p>\n
It is sown in weakness;<\/p>\n
It is raised in power.<\/p>\n
It is sown a natural body;<\/p>\n
It is raised a spiritual body.<\/p>\n
2Co 9:6.-Here the Greek exhibits a beautiful example of this figure.<\/p>\n
He that soweth sparingly, sparingly shall reap also:<\/p>\n
He that soweth bountifully, bountifully shall reap also.<\/p>\n
With this is combined the figure of Anadiplosis (q.v. [Note: Which see.] ), in the repetition of the words sparingly and bountifully.<\/p>\n
Rev 18:21-23.-To emphasize the complete overthrow of Babylon six times we have the repeated words no more.<\/p>\n
Babylon shall be found no more at all,<\/p>\n
and the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters shall be heard in thee no more at all.<\/p>\n
and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found in thee any more at all:<\/p>\n
and the sound of a millstone shall be heard in thee no more at all.<\/p>\n
and the light of a candle shall shine in thee no more at all:<\/p>\n
and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard in thee no more at all.<\/p>\n
Here we have Anastrophe (i.e., Polysyndeton) combined with Epistrophe.<\/p>\n
