Against him rattle doth quiver, The flame of a spear, and a halbert.

Dost thou fill with barbed irons his skin? And with fish-spears his head?

The sword of his overtaker standeth not, Spear -- dart -- and lance.

He may go in flight from the iron spear, but the arrow from the bow of brass will go through him;

A thick stick is no better than a leaf of grass, and he makes sport of the onrush of the spear.

He will keep back his soul from the pit, and his life from passing away by the spear.

And if they will not hear, they shall pass away by the spear, and they shall expire without knowledge.
