Job 6:12
Douay-Rheims
My strength is not the strength of stones, nor is my flesh of brass.
George Leo Haydock
Brass. This is proverbial. Homer (Iliad A ) says, “Attack the Greeks; their skin is neither of stone, (Calmet) iron, or brass.” Those who are aware of their own frailty, ought not to expose themselves to dangerous company, particularly to those of the other sex.
