4. Will he make a covenant with you?Will you take him as a servant forever?
5. Will you play with him as with a bird,Or will you leash him for your maidens?
6. Will your companions make a banquet of him?Will they apportion him among the merchants?
7. Can you fill his skin with harpoons,Or his head with fishing spears?
8. Lay your hand on him;Remember the battle—Never do it again!
9. Indeed, any hope of overcoming him is false;Shall one not be overwhelmed at the sight of him?
10. No one is so fierce that he would dare stir him up.Who then is able to stand against Me?
11. Who has preceded Me, that I should pay him?Everything under heaven is Mine.
12. “I will not conceal his limbs,His mighty power, or his graceful proportions.
13. Who can remove his outer coat?Who can approach him with a double bridle?
14. Who can open the doors of his face,With his terrible teeth all around?
15. His rows of scales are his pride,Shut up tightly as with a seal;
16. One is so near anotherThat no air can come between them;
17. They are joined one to another,They stick together and cannot be parted.
