Job 20:24
Though he flees from an iron weapon, a bronze-tipped arrow will pierce him.
BSB
ASV
He shall flee from the iron weapon, And the bow of brass shall strike him through.
KJV
He shall flee from the iron weapon, and the bow of steel shall strike him through.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
He shall flee from the iron weapon - Or, “Though he should flee from the iron armor, the brazen bow should strike him through.” So that yf he fle the yron weapens, he shal be shott with the stele bow - Coverdale. That is, he shall most certainly perish: all kinds of deaths await him.
