Will he make many pleas to you? Will he speak to you soft words?
4
Will he make a covenant with you to take him for 4your servant forever?
5
Will you play with him as with a bird, or will you put him on a leash for your girls?
6
Will traders bargain over him? Will they divide him up among the merchants?
7
Can you fill his skin with harpoons or his head with fishing spears?
8
Lay your hands on him; remember the battle--you will not do it again!
9
c Behold, the hope of a man is false; he is laid low even at the sight of him.
10
No one is so fierce that he dares to stir him up. Who then is he who can stand before me?
11
5Who has first given to me, that I should repay him? 6Whatever is under the whole heaven is mine.
12
"I will not keep silence concerning his limbs, or his mighty strength, or his goodly frame.
13
Who can strip off his outer garment? Who would come near him with a bridle?
14
Who can open the doors of his face? Around his teeth is terror.
15
His back is made ofd rows of shields, shut up closely as with a seal.
16
One is so near to another that no air can come between them.
17
They are 7joined one to another; they clasp each other and cannot be separated.
18
His sneezings flash forth light, and his eyes are like 8the eyelids of the dawn.
19
Out of his mouth go flaming torches; sparks of fire leap forth.
20
Out of his nostrils comes forth smoke, as from a boiling pot and burning rushes.
