8. Lay your hand on it.Think of the struggle!Don’t do it again!
9. Certainly, any hope ⌊of defeating it⌋ is a false hope.Doesn’t the sight of it overwhelm you?
10. No one is brave enough to provoke Leviathan.Then who can stand in front of me?
11. Who can confront me that I should repay him?Everything under heaven belongs to me!
12. “I will not be silent about Leviathan’s limbs,its strength, or its graceful form.
13. Who can skin its hide?Who can approach it with a harness?
14. Who can open its closed mouth?Its teeth are surrounded by terror.
15. Its back has rows of scales that are tightly sealed.
16. One is so close to the otherthat there is no space between them.
17. Each is joined to the other.They are locked together and inseparable.
18. When Leviathan sneezes, it gives out a flash of light.Its eyes are like the first rays of the dawn.
19. Flames shoot from its mouth.Sparks of fire fly from it.
20. Smoke comes from its nostrilslike a boiling pot heated over brushwood.
21. Its breath sets coals on fire,and a flame pours from its mouth.
