27For he shall esteem iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.


In Context

24 His heart shall be as hard as a stone, and as firm as a smith's anvil.

25 When he shall raise him up, the angels shall fear, and being affrighted shall purify themselves.

26 When a sword shall lay at him, it shall not be able to hold, nor a spear, nor a breastplate.

27 For he shall esteem iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.

28 The archer shall not put him to flight, the stones of the sling are to him like stubble.

29 As stubble will he esteem the hammer, and he will laugh him to scorn who shaketh the spear.
