4. Will he make a covenant with thee that thou shall take him for a slave for ever?
5. Wilt thou play with him as with a bird, or wilt thou tie him up for thy maidens?
6. Shall the companions make a banquet of him? Shall they part him among the merchants?
7. Canst thou cut his skin with knives or his head with a fish spear?
8. Lay thine hand upon him; thou shalt remember the battle and do no more.
9. Behold, your hope regarding him shall fail; for even at the sight of him they shall faint.
10. No one is so bold as to dare stir him up; who then shall be able to stand before me?
11. Who has preceded me, that I should repay him? All that is under the whole heaven is mine.
12. I will not conceal his lies, nor his might, nor the beauty of his order.
13. Who shall uncover the face of his garment? Or who shall come to him with a double bridle?
14. Who shall open the doors of his face? The orders of his teeth are terrible.
15. His scales {Heb. shields} are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal.
16. One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.
17. They are joined one to another; they stick together, that they cannot be separated.
18. By his sneezings lights are lit, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.
19. Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out.
20. Out of his nostrils goes forth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron.
21. His breath kindles coals, and a flame goes out of his mouth.
22. In his neck dwells strength, and before him the work is undone.
