His scales are his pride, Shut up together as with a close seal.
His scales are [the crocodile's] pride, [for his back is made of rows of shields] shut up together [as with] a tight seal;
His strong scales are his pride, Shut up together as with a close seal.
His matching scales are his pride, closely locked and sealed.
His heart will be as hard as a stone and as dense as a blacksmith's anvil.
His heart shall be as hard as a stone, and as firm as a smith's anvil.
