(Some words not found in UHB: DOM all/each/any/every lofty he/it_will_see he/it king on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in all/each/any/every sons_of proud )

Yahweh is using the term stand in a specific sense to mean “succeed.” Alternate translation: “Someone may strike it with a sword, but that will have no effect”

(Some words not found in UHB: DOM all/each/any/every lofty he/it_will_see he/it king on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in all/each/any/every sons_of proud )

Yahweh is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “neither does the spear, the dart, the javelin”
