For example: +Personification is a figure of speech in which someone speaks of something as if it could do things that animals or people can do. People often do this because it makes it easier to talk about things that we cannot see: +Such as wisdom: > Does not Wisdom call out? (Proverbs 8:1a ULT) +Or sin: > Sin crouches at the door. (Genesis 4:7b ULT) People also use personification because it is sometimes easier to talk about people’s relationships with non-human things such as wealth as if they were relationships between people.
