“Shalt thou play with him as with a bird, or tie him up for thy handmaids? Shall friends cut him in pieces, shall merchants divide him? Wilt thou fill nets with his skin, and the cabins of fishes with his head? Lay thy hand upon him: remember the battle, and speak no more. Behold his hope shall fail him, and in the sight of all he shall be cast down. ”
“He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares. ”
He takes his rest under the trees of the river, and in the pool, under the shade of the water-plants.
