11pWho hath ppprevented me, that I should repay him?
qWhatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine.
12I will not conceal his rparts,
Nor his power, nor his comely proportion.
13Who can discover sthe face of his garment?
Or who can come to him ||with his double bridle?
14Who can open the doors of his face?
His teeth are tterrible round about.
15His †scales are his pride,
Shut up together as with a close seal.
16One is so near to another,
That no air can come between them.
17They are ujoined one to another,
They xstick together, that they cannot be sundered.

ESVEnglish Standard Version
Who has first given to me, that I should repay him?
Whatever is under the whole heaven is mine.
“I will not keep silence concerning his limbs,
or his mighty strength, or his goodly frame.
Who can strip off his outer garment?
Who would come near him with a bridle?
Who can open the doors of his face?
Around his teeth is terror.
His back is made of rows of shields,
shut up closely as with a seal.
One is so near to another
that no air can come between them.
They are joined one to another;
they clasp each other and cannot be separated.

NIVNew International Version (2011)
Who has a claim against me that I must pay?
Everything under heaven belongs to me.
“I will not fail to speak of Leviathan’s limbs,
its strength and its graceful form.
Who can strip off its outer coat?
Who can penetrate its double coat of armor?
Who dares open the doors of its mouth,
ringed about with fearsome teeth?
Its back has rows of shields
tightly sealed together;
each is so close to the next
that no air can pass between.
They are joined fast to one another;
they cling together and cannot be parted.

CSBChristian Standard Bible
Who confronted me, that I should repay him?
Everything under heaven belongs to me.
I cannot be silent about his limbs,
his power, and his graceful proportions.
Who can strip off his outer covering?
Who can penetrate his double layer of armor?
Who can open his jaws,
surrounded by those terrifying teeth?
His pride is in his rows of scales,
closely sealed together.
One scale is so close to another
that no air can pass between them.
They are joined to one another,
so closely connected they cannot be separated.

NLTNew Living Translation
Who has given me anything that I need to pay back?
Everything under heaven is mine.
“I want to emphasize Leviathan’s limbs
and its enormous strength and graceful form.
Who can strip off its hide,
and who can penetrate its double layer of armor?
Who could pry open its jaws?
For its teeth are terrible!
The scales on its back are like rows of shields
tightly sealed together.
They are so close together
that no air can get between them.
Each scale sticks tight to the next.
They interlock and cannot be penetrated.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
Who has come to confront me, that I should repay him?
Under all the heavens, it belongs to me.
“I will not keep quiet concerning its limbs
or concerning the extent of its might and the gracefulness of its frame.
Who can strip off its outer covering?
Who can penetrate its double harness?
Who can open the doors of its face?
Its teeth all around are fearsome.
Its back has scales of shields;
it is shut up closely as with a seal.
They are close to one another—
even the air cannot come between them.
They are joined one to another;
they cling together and cannot be separated.
