Hast thou not seen him? and hast thou not wondered at the things said [of him]?
—
Dost thou not fear because preparation has been made by me? for who is there that resists me?
—
Or who will resist me, and abide, since the whole [world] under heaven is mine?
—
I will not be silent because of him: though because of his power [one] shall pity his antagonist.
—
Who will open the face of his garment? and who can enter within the fold of his breast-plate?
—
Who will open the doors of his face? terror is round about his teeth.
—
His inwards are [as] brazen plates, and the texture of his [skin] as a smyrite stone.
—
One [part] cleaves fast to another, and the air cannot come between them.
—
They will remain united each to the other: they are closely joined, and cannot be separated.
—
At his sneezing a light shines, and his eyes are [as] the appearance of the morning star.
—
Out of his mouth proceed as it were burning lamps, and as it were hearths of fire are cast abroad.
—
Out of his nostrils proceeds smoke of a furnace burning with fire of coals.
—
His breath is [as] live coals, and a flame goes out of his mouth.
—
And power is lodged in his neck, before him destruction runs.
—
The flesh also of his body is joined together: [if one] pours [violence] upon him, he shall not be moved.
—
His heart is firm as a stone, and it stands like an unyielding anvil.
—
And when he turns, [he is] a terror to the four-footed wild beasts which leap upon the earth.
—
If spears should come against him, [men] will effect nothing, [either with] the spear or the breast-plate.
—
For he considers iron as chaff, and brass as rotten wood.
—
The bow of brass shall not wound him, he deems a slinger as grass.
—
Mauls are counted as stubble; and he laughs to scorn the waving of the firebrand.
—
His lair is [formed of] sharp points; and all the gold of the sea under him is as an immense [quantity of] clay.
—
He makes the deep boil like a brazen caldron; and he regards the sea as a pot of ointment,
—
and the lowest part of the deep as a captive: he reckons the deep as [his] range.
—
There is nothing upon the earth like to him, formed to be sported with by my angels.
—
He beholds every high thing: and he is king of all that are in the waters.
