11. Who opposes me that I must repay?Everything under heaven is mine.
12. I’m not awed by his limbs,his strength, and impressive form.
13. Who can remove his outer garment;who can come with a bridle for him?
14. Who can open the doors of his mouth,surrounded by frightening teeth?
15. His matching scales are his pride,closely locked and sealed.
16. One touches another;even air can’t come between them.
17. Each clings to its pair;joined, they can’t be separated.
18. His sneezes emit flashes of light;his eyes are like dawn’s rays.
19. Shafts of fire shoot from his mouth;like fiery sparks they fly out.
20. Smoke pours from his nostrilslike a boiling pot over reeds.
21. His breath lights coals;a flame shoots from his mouth.
22. Power resides in his neck;violence dances before him.
23. The folds of his flesh stick together;on him they are tough and unyielding.
24. His heart is solid like a rock,hard like a lower millstone.
25. The divine beings dread his rising;they withdraw before his thrashing.
26. The sword that touches him won’t prevail;neither will the dart, spear, nor javelin.
27. He treats iron as straw,bronze as rotten wood.
28. Arrows can’t make him flee;slingstones he turns to straw.
29. He treats a club like straw;he laughs at the lance’s rattle.
30. His abdomen is like jagged pottery shards;its sharp edges leave a trail in the mud.
