Jesus used approx 50 different 'word pictures' just in the Sermon on the Mount.

In the whole Bible there are way toooo many to list.

Here's but one 'word picture' found at Romans 12:20:"If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by doing this you will heap fiery coals upon his head." Does the heaping of fiery coals on a person's head indicate a retaliatory punishment? No, not when we understand the point of similarity. This word picture is drawn from the ancient process of smelting. Ore was heated on a bed of coals, and some coals were heaped on top of the ore as well. This process melted the ore and caused the pure metal to separate from any impurities. Likewise, exercising kindness will tend to soften a person's attitude and bring out the good in him.

Neat eh? Bet you didn't know that.
