20Out of his nostrils a smoke goeth,

As of a boiling pot and burning rushes.

21His breath kindleth coals,

And a flame goeth forth from his mouth.

22In his neck abideth strength,

And terror danceth before him.

23The flakes of his flesh are joined together:

They are firm upon him; they cannot be moved.

24His heart is as firm as a stone;

Yea, firm as the nether millstone.

25When he raiseth himself up, the mighty are afraid:

By reason of consternation they are beside themselves.

26If one lay at him with the sword, it cannot avail;

Nor the spear, the dart, nor the pointed shaft.

27He counteth iron as straw,

And brass as rotten wood.

28The arrow cannot make him flee:

Sling-stones are turned with him into stubble.

29Clubs are counted as stubble:

He laugheth at the rushing of the javelin.

30His underparts are like sharp potsherds:

He spreadeth as it were a threshing-wain upon the mire.

31He maketh the deep to boil like a pot:

He maketh the sea like a pot of ointment.

32He maketh a path to shine after him;

One would think the deep to be hoary.

33Upon earth there is not his like,

That is made without fear.

34He beholdeth everything that is high:

He is king over all the sons of pride.
