Metonymy
Metonymy is a figure of speech(or trope) in which
one word or phrase is substituted for another with which it's closely
associated (such as "crown" for "royalty").

Proverb
is a simple and
concrete saying, popularly known and repeated, that expresses a truth based on
common sense or experience. They are often metaphorical. A proverb that describes a basic rule of
conduct may also be known as a maxim. Proverbs fall into the category of formulaic
language.
Example

but I can prevail.
but I can prevail.
2 Surely I am only a brute, not a man;
I do not have human understanding.
3 I have not learned wisdom,
nor have I attained to the knowledge of the Holy One.
4 Who has gone up to heaven and come down?
Whose hands have gathered up the wind?
Who has wrapped up the waters in a cloak?
Who has established all the ends of the earth?
What is his name, and what is the name of his son?
Surely you know!
5 “Every
word of God is flawless;
he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.
he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.
6 Do not add to his words,
or he will rebuke you and prove you a liar.
7 “Two
things I ask of you, Lord;
do not refuse me before I die:
do not refuse me before I die:
8 Keep falsehood and lies far from me;
give me neither poverty nor riches,
but give me only my daily bread.
