Another Chiasmus that I'd study and this time in Genesis 7:19-24. See the line below and how inverted Parallelism was relevant in ancient Writings which is found in the Book of Mormon. This time I'll post some text in the old testament, see below -
19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.
20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.
21 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:
22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.
23 And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.
24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.

There are also minor Chiasmus in that text which I did not include here, you can have it on your Personal Study.
More Chiasmus will be coming soon after my Study. Thank you for your view and have a great day.
