Understanding the surrounding verses prevents misinterpretation:

Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants?

Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears?

Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more.

Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not {one} be cast down even at the sight of him?

None {is so} fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to stand before me?
