Antithetic parallelism is a literary and rhetorical structure commonly found in poetry, particularly in biblical texts and other forms of ancient literature. It involves the juxtaposition of contrasting ideas or themes within a parallel structure. This means that two lines or clauses are presented in a way that highlights their opposition to one another. In this type of parallelism, the first line typically asserts a certain idea, while the second line presents a counter or opposing idea.
