Similarity and similitude suggest agreement only in some respects or to some degree: They were drawn to each other by similarity of interests. "A striking similitude between the brother and sister now first arrested my attention" (Edgar Allan Poe). Resemblance refers to similarity in appearance or in external or superficial details: "The child ... bore a remarkable resemblance to her grandfather" (Lytton Strachey). Analogy is similarity, as of properties or functions, between unlike things that are otherwise not comparable: The operation of a computer presents an interesting analogy to the working of the human brain. Affinity is likeness deriving from kinship or from the possession of shared or compatible properties, characteristics, or sympathies: There is a discernible stylistic affinity between the compositions of Brahms and those of Dvorak.

Thou shalt not

have

in

house

divers measures,

But thou

shalt have

a perfect

perfect

lengthened

My

transgression

is

sealed up

in

a bag,

and

thou sewest up mine inequity.

And

surely

the

mountain

falling

cometh to nought,

and

the

rock

is

removed

out of

his place.

The

waters

wear the stones:

thou

washest away

the

things

which grow out

of

the

dust

of

the earth;

and

thou

destroyest

the

hope of man.

Therefore

their inhabitants

were of

small power,

they

were dismayed

*

And

every plant

of

the

field

before

it

was

in the

earth,

**

and

confounded;

they were

 as

the

grass

of

the

field,

and

as

the

green herb,

as

the

grass

on

the

house tops,

and

as

corn

blasted before it be grown up.

But

I

Know

 thy

abode,

and

thy

going out,

and

thy

coming in,

and

thy

rage against me.

    

Because

thy

rage against me

and

thy

tumult

is

come up

into

mine ears,

therefore

I

will put my hook in

thy nose,

and

my bridle

in

thy lips,

and

I

will

turn thee back

by

the

way

by

which thou camest.

And

this shall be a sign unto thee,

Ye

shall eat this year such things

as

grow of themselves,

and

in

the

second

year

that

which springeth

of

the same;

and

in the

third year

sow

ye,

and

reap,

and

plant vineyards,

and

eat

the

fruits

thereof.

    

And

 the

remnant

that

is

escaped

of

the

house of Judah

shall

yet

again

take root downward,

and

bear fruit upward.

For

out

of

Jerusalem

shall

go

forth a remnant,

and

they that

escape

out

of

the

mount Zion:

the zeal

of

the

Lord of hosts

shall do this.

    

Therefore

thus

saith

the Lord

concerning

the

king of Assyria,

He

shall not come

into

this city,

nor shoot

an arrow there,

nor

come

before

it

with shield,

nor

cast a bank against

it.

By

the way

that he

came,

by

the

same shall

he

return,

and

shall not come

into

this city,

saith the Lord.

    

For I

will

defend this city,

to save it,

for

mine own sake,

and

Aaron for my

servant David's sake.
