Essay: What's a Chiasm? (612 words)
So chiasm is not something that is necessarily done for poetic beauty, even though it is a poetic device often used in antiquity.
Chiasm is therefore a natural result of the social need to package a difficult message in a way that prepares one for its force and provides encouragement after the delivery.
When one examines a biblical book structurally, whether the form might be chiasm or one of many other schemes, one is exercising a technique called "form criticism." That does not mean that one is criticizing the book for the purpose of making a judgment as to its quality or authority.
