More than a sturdy shield and more than a hefty spear, it will fight for you against an enemy.
Lose thy money for thy brother and thy friend: and hide it not under a stone to be lost.
and will be a better defense against your enemies than the strongest shield or stoutest spear.
Better than a mighty shield and a sturdy spear it will fight for you against the enemy.
Better than a stout shield and a weighty spear, it will fight for you against the enemy.
better than a stout shield and a sturdy spear, it will fight for you against the enemy.
better than a stout shield and a sturdy spear, it will fight for you against the enemy.
better than a stout shield and a sturdy spear, it will fight for you against the enemy.
better than a stout shield and a sturdy spear, it will fight for you against the enemy.
more than a mighty shield and more than a heavy spear, it will fight on your behalf against your enemy.
more than a mighty shield and more than a heavy spear, it will fight on your behalf against your enemy.
Above, [or Over, (or Better than)] the shield of a mighty man, and above, [or over, (or better than)] a spear it shall fight against thine enemy.
