4. Will he make a pact with youso that you will take him as a permanent slave?
5. Can you play with him like a bird,put a leash on him for your girls?
6. Will merchants sell him;will they divide him among traders?
7. Can you fill his hide with darts,his head with a fishing spear?
8. Should you lay your hand on him,you would never remember the battle.
9. Such hopes would be delusional;surely the sight of him makes one stumble.
10. Nobody is fierce enough to rouse him;who then can stand before me?
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.
