3. Psalm 91:4: He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust; a.metaphor. b. personification. c.simile . d.paradox

Answer:

The following are the types of figurative language used in each of the verses:

1. D (paradox)

2. C (similie)

3. A (metaphor)

4. C (similie)

5. B (personification)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. A paradox, according to Google, is a seemingly absurd or contradictory statement or proposition which when investigated may prove to be well-founded or true. The verse refers to people and the statement is contradictory that they have ears but cannot hear and noses but cannot smell.

2. A simile is a comparison between two things that uses the words "like" or "as". It is saying that a man's days are like grass, like a flower of the field.

3. A metaphor is stating one thing in terms of another. The verse states that God will cover one with his feathers, and under his wings one needs to trust. It is showing God as a bird, who has wings and feathers.

4. It is saying that their poison is like the poison of a serpent. A simile is a comparison between two things that uses the words "like" or "as".

5. Personification is when one gives human attributes to non-human beings or objects. In this case, pestilence is given a human attribute (walking).
