And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass:

He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.

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

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

His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.

He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.

He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.

I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:

Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;

Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion: for I will make thine horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass: and thou shalt beat in pieces many people: and I will consecrate their gain unto the LORD, and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth.
