who makes the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, and the chambers of the south,

that they were engraved in the rock forever with an iron pen and lead!

He shall flee from the iron weapon, and the bow of brass shall strike him through.

Iron is taken out of the earth, and copper is molten out of the stone.

Can thou bind the cluster of the Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?

He counts iron as straw, [and] brass as rotten wood.
