⁴ Because I knew that you were obstinate, And your neck was an iron sinew, And your brow bronze,

⁴ Because I know that you are obstinate, and your neck is an iron sinew and your forehead brass,

⁴ Because I saw that your heart was hard, and that your neck was an iron cord, and your brow brass;

⁴ For I knew how stubborn you were; your neck muscles were iron, your forehead was bronze.

⁴ Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;
