The smith maketh an axe, and worketh in the coals, and fashioneth it with hammers, and worketh it with his strong arm: yea, he is hungry, and his strength faileth; he drinketh no water, and is faint.

The iron-worker is heating the metal in the fire, giving it form with his hammers, and working on it with his strong arm: then for need of food his strength gives way, and for need of water he becomes feeble.

Ο χαλκευς κοπτει σιδηρον και εργαζεται εις τους ανθρακας και με τα σφυρια μορφονει αυτο και κατασκευαζει αυτο με την δυναμιν των βραχιονων αυτου· μαλιστα πεινα και η δυναμις αυτου αποκαμνει· υδωρ δεν πινει και ατονει.

The smith with the tongs both worketh in the coals, and fashioneth it with hammers, and worketh it with the strength of his arms: yea, he is hungry, and his strength faileth: he drinketh no water, and is faint.
