⁷And the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready before it was brought thither: so that there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building.

⁷So the carpenter encouraged the goldsmith, and he that smootheth with the hammer him that smote the anvil, saying, It is ready for the sodering: and he fastened it with nails, that it should not be moved.

⁴They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.

²⁹Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?

²³How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken! how is Babylon become a desolation among the nations!
