7 Can you fill his hide with harpoons or his head with fishing spears?
¿ Will you fill with harpoons hide its and with a spear of fish head its.
8 If you lay a hand on him, you will remember the battle and never repeat it!
Put on it hands your remember [the] battle may not you repeat.
9 Surely hope of overcoming him is false. Is not the sight of him overwhelming?
There! hope his it is proved a lie ¿ also because of appearance its everyone is thrown down.
10 No one is so fierce as to rouse Leviathan. Then who is able to stand against Me?
Not fierce that he will rouse it and who? that before me will he take his stand.
11 Who has given to Me that I should repay him? Everything under heaven is Mine.
Who? has he confronted me and I may repay under all the heavens [belongs] to me it.
12 I cannot keep silent about his limbs, his power and graceful form.
(To it *Q(K)*) I will keep silent limbs its and [the] matter of strength and [the] grace of arrangement its.
13 Who can strip off his outer coat? Who can approach him with a bridle?
Who? has he uncovered [the] surface of clothing its in [the] doubling of halter its who? will he come.
14 Who can open his jaws, ringed by his fearsome teeth?
[the] doors of Face its who? has he opened [is] around teeth its terror.
15 His rows of scales are his pride, tightly sealed together.
Pride [is] rows of shields shut up a seal tight.
16 One scale is so near to another that no air can pass between them.
One on one they draw near and a breath not it goes between them.
17 They are joined to one another; they clasp and cannot be separated.
Each on brother its they are joined together they grasp one another and not they are separated.
18 His snorting flashes with light, and his eyes are like the rays of dawn.
Sneezing its it flashes forth light and eyes its [are] like [the] eyelids of dawn.
19 Firebrands stream from his mouth; fiery sparks shoot forth!
From mouth its torches they go sparks of fire they escape.
20 Smoke billows from his nostrils as from a boiling pot over burning reeds.
From nostrils its it goes forth smoke like a pot blown upon and bulrush[es].
21 His breath sets coals ablaze, and flames pour from his mouth.
Breath its coals it kindles and a flame from mouth its it goes forth.
22 Strength resides in his neck, and dismay leaps before him.
In neck its it lodges strength and before it it leaps dismay.
23 The folds of his flesh are tightly joined; they are firm and immovable.
[the] hanging parts of Flesh its they cling hard to it not it is moved.
24 His chest is as hard as a rock, as hard as a lower millstone!
Heart its [is] hard like a stone and hard like a mill-stone lower.
25 When Leviathan rises up, the mighty are terrified; they withdraw before his thrashing.
From uprising its they are afraid mighty ones from crashing they are bewildered.
26 The sword that reaches him has no effect, nor does the spear or dart or arrow.
[one who] reaches It a sword not it is established a spear a dart and a javelin.
27 He regards iron as straw and bronze as rotten wood.
It considers to straw iron to wood of rottenness bronze.
28 No arrow can make him flee; slingstones become like chaff to him.
Not it makes flee it [the] son of a bow into chaff they are changed for it stones of a sling.
29 A club is regarded as straw, and he laughs at the sound of the lance.
Like chaff they are regarded a club so it may laugh to [the] shaking of a javelin.
30 His undersides are jagged potsherds, spreading out the mud like a threshing sledge.
Under it [are] sharp points of potsherd[s] it spreads out a threshing sledge on mud.
31 He makes the depths seethe like a cauldron; he makes the sea like a jar of ointment.
It makes boil like pot [the] deep [the] sea it makes like pot of ointment.
32 He leaves a glistening wake behind him; one would think the deep had white hair!
Behind it it makes shine a path anyone considers [the] deep to grey hair.
33 Nothing on earth is his equal— a creature devoid of fear!
Not [is] on [the] dust likeness its the [one] made for not fear.
34 He looks down on all the haughty; he is king over all the proud.”
Every exalted [one] it sees it [is] king over all [the] sons of pride.
