Answer: See explanation below

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall —— (B1)Synonymous Parallelism.

Synonymous Parallelism is a Hebrew literary device that involves the repetition of the same concept in the same sentence. Looking at sentence A, pride and a haughty spirit are synonymous just like fall and destruction are.

B. Lord forgive me; blot out my sin. O God of my salvation —-B(5) Chiasm.

Chiasm is a literary rhetorical device that reverses two clauses, thereby balancing them.

C. Ill gotten treasures have no value, but righteousness delivers from death —- B(3) Antithetic Parallelism.

Antithetic Parallelism is a literary device where the second part presents a contrasting idea to first.
