because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been rent asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: and no man had strength to tame him.

Because he had frequently been prisoned in chains and iron bands, and the chains had been parted and the bands broken by him: and no man was strong enough to make him quiet.

διοτι πολλακις ειχε δεθη με ποδοδεσμα και με αλυσεις, και διεσπασθησαν υπ' αυτου αι αλυσεις και τα ποδοδεσμα συνετριφθησαν, και ουδεις ισχυε να δαμαση αυτον·

Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him.
