17. They are joined tightly to one another. They stick together and can't be forced apart.
18. The leviathan's snorting throws out flashes of light. Its eyes shine like the first light of day.
19. Fire seems to spray out of its mouth. Sparks of fire shoot out.
20. Smoke pours out of its nose. It is like smoke from a boiling pot over burning grass.
21. Its breath sets coals on fire. Flames fly out of its mouth.
22. Its neck is very strong. People run to get out of its way.
23. Its rolls of fat are close together. They are firm and can't be moved.
24. Its chest is as hard as rock. It is as hard as a lower millstone.
25. When the leviathan rises up, even mighty people are terrified. They run away when it moves around wildly.
26. A sword that strikes it has no effect. Neither does a spear or dart or javelin.
27. It treats iron as if it were straw. It crushes bronze as if it were rotten wood.
28. Arrows do not make it run away. Stones that are thrown from slings are like straw hitting it.
29. A club seems like a piece of straw to it. It laughs when it hears a javelin rattling.
30. Its undersides are like broken pieces of pottery. It leaves a trail in the mud like a threshing sled.
31. It makes the ocean churn like a boiling pot. It stirs up the sea like perfume someone is making.
32. It leaves a shiny trail behind it. You would think the ocean had white hair.
33. Nothing on earth is equal to the leviathan. That creature is not afraid of anything.
