Riddles and aphorisms.
Reason: Old Testament wisdom literature (e.g., Proverbs, Job, some Psalms) is characterized by pithy sayings and proverbial/gnomic material (aphorisms) and by enigmatic, riddle-like speech. Parables are more a narrative/prophetic and rabbinic teaching form; alliteration and metonymy are general stylistic devices, not specifically markers of OT wisdom.
