Metaphors are not stand-alone units, but figure often in larger chains and regularly build upon each other. Yet, not all metaphors are the same. Some are very simple, such as the simile, while other metaphors require more active cross-domain mapping in thought. Still others are also context-dependent, deliberately used to convey new insights or used with a certain rhetorical intention. The study of various metaphorical clusters in Psalm 22 allows us to discuss the different types of metaphors and their distinct communicative functions. The most remarkable metaphorical cluster is based on the conceptual metaphor yhwh is fire. Built upon this conceptual layer is another metaphor, namely people melt before yhwh like wax melts before fire. Used in the context of Ps. 22.15, this deliberate metaphor confirms yhwh’s absolute sovereignty. His authority and power are in Ps. 22.13–17 the reason for fear, because his is a flaming and destructive power.

诗篇 22 中传统和深思熟虑的比喻网络

隐喻不是独立的单元，而是经常出现在更大的链条中，并经常相互建立。然而，并非所有的比喻都是一样的。有些比喻很简单，比如明喻，而另一些比喻则需要在思想上进行更积极的跨域映射。还有一些也依赖于上下文，故意用于传达新的见解或用于某种修辞意图。对诗篇 22 中各种隐喻集群的研究使我们能够讨论不同类型的隐喻及其不同的交际功能。最显着的隐喻集群基于概念隐喻 yhwh is fire。建立在这个概念层上的是另一个比喻，即人在 yhwh 之前融化，就像蜡在火之前融化一样。在 Ps 的上下文中使用。22.15，这个刻意的比喻证实了yhwh的绝对主权。他的权威和权力在诗篇。22.13-17 恐惧的原因，因为他是一种燃烧和破坏性的力量。
