Previous Chapter Previous Verse Full Chapter Next Verse Next Chapter
14 The plates of his flesh are joined together, fixed, and not to be moved.
15 His heart is as strong as a stone, hard as the lower crushing-stone.
16 When he gets ready for the fight, the strong are overcome with fear.
17 The sword may come near him but is not able to go through him; the spear, or the arrow, or the sharp-pointed iron.
18 Iron is to him as dry grass, and brass as soft wood.
19 The arrow is not able to put him to flight: stones are no more to him than dry stems.
20 A thick stick is no better than a leaf of grass, and he makes sport of the onrush of the spear.
