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.
18By his neesings a ylight doth shine,
And his eyes are like zthe eyelids of the morning.
19Out of his mouth go burning lamps,
And sparks of fire leap out.
20Out of his nostrils goeth smoke,
As out of a aseething pot or bcaldron.
21His breath cckindleth coals,
And a flame goeth out of his mouth.
22In his neck remaineth strength,
And †sorrow is turned into joy before him.
23†The flakes of his flesh are ujoined together:
They are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved.

ESVEnglish Standard Version
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.
His sneezings flash forth light,
and his eyes are like the eyelids of the dawn.
Out of his mouth go flaming torches;
sparks of fire leap forth.
Out of his nostrils comes forth smoke,
as from a boiling pot and burning rushes.
His breath kindles coals,
and a flame comes forth from his mouth.
In his neck abides strength,
and terror dances before him.
The folds of his flesh stick together,
firmly cast on him and immovable.

NIVNew International Version (2011)
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.
Its snorting throws out flashes of light;
its eyes are like the rays of dawn.
Flames stream from its mouth;
sparks of fire shoot out.
Smoke pours from its nostrils
as from a boiling pot over burning reeds.
Its breath sets coals ablaze,
and flames dart from its mouth.
Strength resides in its neck;
dismay goes before it.
The folds of its flesh are tightly joined;
they are firm and immovable.

CSBChristian Standard Bible
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.
His snorting flashes with light,
while his eyes are like the rays of dawn.
Flaming torches shoot from his mouth;
fiery sparks fly out!
Smoke billows from his nostrils
as from a boiling pot or burning reeds.
His breath sets coals ablaze,
and flames pour out of his mouth.
Strength resides in his neck,
and dismay dances before him.
The folds of his flesh are joined together,
solid as metal and immovable.

NLTNew Living Translation
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.
“When it sneezes, it flashes light!
Its eyes are like the red of dawn.
Lightning leaps from its mouth;
flames of fire flash out.
Smoke streams from its nostrils
like steam from a pot heated over burning rushes.
Its breath would kindle coals,
for flames shoot from its mouth.
“The tremendous strength in Leviathan’s neck
strikes terror wherever it goes.
Its flesh is hard and firm
and cannot be penetrated.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
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.
“Its snorting flashes forth light,
and its eyes are red like dawn.
Torches go from its mouth;
sparks of fire shoot out.
Smoke comes from its nostrils
as from a kettle boiling and burning bulrushes.
Its breath kindles charcoal,
and a flame comes from its mouth.
“Strength abides in its neck,
and dismay dances before it.
Its flesh’s folds of skin cling together;
it is cast on it—it will not be moved.
