4 is 4, 10 is 10, 14 is 14, 40 is 40, 44 illiterate stone lions are dead.

nachash nashach nachash - (a) snake bit (a) snake (hebrew doesn't have our indefinite articles)

The seething sea ceased to see, then thus sufficeth thus.

Betty Botter bought a bit of butter.
The butter Betty Botter bought was a bit bitter
And made her butter'd batter bitter.
But a bit of better butter makes better butter'd batter.
So Betty Botter bought a bit of better butter
Making Betty Botter's bitter butter'd batter better
