18 His bones [are] tubes of brass, His bones [are] as a bar  of iron.
         
                                
                        19 He [is] a beginning of the ways of God, His Maker bringeth  nigh his sword;
         
                                
                        20 For food do mountains bear for him, And all the beasts of  the field play there.
         
                                
                        21 Under shades he lieth down, In a secret place of reed and  mire.
         
                                
                        22 Cover him do shades, [with] their shadow, Cover him do  willows of the brook.
         
                                
                        23 Lo, a flood oppresseth -- he doth not haste, He is  confident though Jordan Doth come forth unto his mouth.
         
                                
                        24 Before his eyes doth [one] take him, With snares doth  [one] pierce the nose?
