What Poetic element is used the most?

What poetic element is used the most in the verse from the King James Bible version of Ecclesiastes?








A Time for Everything


1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:


2 a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;


3 a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;


4 a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;


5 a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;


6 a time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;


7 a time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;


8 a time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
