Is my strength the strength of stones? Or is my flesh made of brass?
“How have you helped him who is without power? How have you saved the arm that has no strength?
His bones are like strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.
His heart is as firm as a stone, yes, as hard as a piece of the lower millstone.
“What strength do I have, that I should hope? And what is my end, that I should prolong my life?
Is there no help within me? And is success banished from me?
