Job 19:24
Douay-Rheims
With an iron pen and in a plate of lead, or else be graven with an instrument in flint stone.
Francis Patrick Kenrick
Writing was at that period done with an iron, or steel, sometimes on leaden tablets, sometimes on stone : the Incisions made on stone were filled with lead, to render the characters more distinct and last- ing. See also Jer. 17 : 1.
