22. Strength lodges in its neck,and despair runs before it.
23. The folds of its flesh are tightly joined;they are firm on it, immovable.
24. Its heart is hard as rock,hard as a lower millstone.
25. When it rises up, the mighty are terrified,at its thrashing about they withdraw.
26. Whoever strikes it with a swordwill have no effect,nor with the spear, arrow, or dart.
27. It regards iron as strawand bronze as rotten wood.
