8	שִׂים־ עָלָ֥יו כַּפֶּ֑ךָ זְכֹ֥ר מִ֝לְחָמָ֗ה אַל־ תּוֹסַֽף׃	Lay your hands on him; remember the battle—you will not do it again!	If you lay a hand on it, you will remember the struggle and never do it again!
9	הֵן־ תֹּחַלְתּ֥וֹ נִכְזָ֑בָה הֲגַ֖ם אֶל־ מַרְאָ֣יו יֻטָֽל׃	Behold, the hope of a man is false; he is laid low even at the sight of him.	Any hope of subduing it is false; the mere sight of it is overpowering.
10	לֹֽא־ אַ֭כְזָר כִּ֣י יְעוּרֶ֑נּוּ וּמִ֥י ה֝֗וּא לְפָנַ֥י יִתְיַצָּֽב׃	No one is so fierce that he dares to stir him up. Who then is he who can stand before me?	No one is fierce enough to rouse it. Who then is able to stand against me?

14	דַּלְתֵ֣י פָ֭נָיו מִ֣י פִתֵּ֑חַ סְבִיב֖וֹת שִׁנָּ֣יו אֵימָֽה׃	Who can open the doors of his face? Around his teeth is terror.	Who dares open the doors of its mouth, ringed about with fearsome teeth?
15	גַּ֭אֲוָה אֲפִיקֵ֣י מָֽגִנִּ֑ים סָ֝ג֗וּר חוֹתָ֥ם צָֽר׃	His back is made of rows of shields, shut up closely as with a seal.	Its back has rows of shields tightly sealed together;
16	אֶחָ֣ד בְּאֶחָ֣ד יִגַּ֑שׁוּ וְ֝ר֗וּחַ לֹא־ יָב֥וֹא בֵֽינֵיהֶֽם׃	One is so near to another that no air can come between them.	each is so close to the next that no air can pass between.

19	מִ֭פִּיו לַפִּידִ֣ים יַהֲלֹ֑כוּ כִּיד֥וֹדֵי אֵ֝֗שׁ יִתְמַלָּֽטוּ׃	Out of his mouth go flaming torches; sparks of fire leap forth.	Flames stream from its mouth; sparks of fire shoot out.
20	מִ֭נְּחִירָיו יֵצֵ֣א עָשָׁ֑ן כְּד֖וּד נָפ֣וּחַ וְאַגְמֹֽן׃	Out of his nostrils comes forth smoke, as from a boiling pot and burning rushes.	Smoke pours from its nostrils as from a boiling pot over burning reeds.

24	לִ֭בּוֹ יָצ֣וּק כְּמוֹ־ אָ֑בֶן וְ֝יָצ֗וּק כְּפֶ֣לַח תַּחְתִּֽית׃	His heart is hard as a stone, hard as the lower millstone.	Its chest is hard as rock, hard as a lower millstone.
25	מִ֭שֵּׂתוֹ יָג֣וּרוּ אֵלִ֑ים מִ֝שְּׁבָרִ֗ים יִתְחַטָּֽאוּ׃	When he raises himself up, the mighty are afraid; at the crashing they are beside themselves.	When it rises up, the mighty are terrified; they retreat before its thrashing.
26	מַשִּׂיגֵ֣הוּ חֶ֭רֶב בְּלִ֣י תָק֑וּם חֲנִ֖ית מַסָּ֣ע וְשִׁרְיָֽה׃	Though the sword reaches him, it does not avail, nor the spear, the dart, or the javelin.	The sword that reaches it has no effect, nor does the spear or the dart or the javelin.
27	יַחְשֹׁ֣ב לְתֶ֣בֶן בַּרְזֶ֑ל לְעֵ֖ץ רִקָּב֣וֹן נְחוּשָֽׁה׃	He counts iron as straw, and bronze as rotten wood.	Iron it treats like straw and bronze like rotten wood.

30	תַּ֭חְתָּיו חַדּ֣וּדֵי חָ֑רֶשׂ יִרְפַּ֖ד חָר֣וּץ עֲלֵי־ טִֽיט׃	His underparts are like sharp potsherds; he spreads himself like a threshing sledge on the mire.	Its undersides are jagged potsherds, leaving a trail in the mud like a threshing sledge.
31	יַרְתִּ֣יחַ כַּסִּ֣יר מְצוּלָ֑ה יָ֝֗ם יָשִׂ֥ים כַּמֶּרְקָחָֽה׃	He makes the deep boil like a pot; he makes the sea like a pot of ointment.	It makes the depths churn like a boiling caldron and stirs up the sea like a pot of ointment.
32	אַ֭חֲרָיו יָאִ֣יר נָתִ֑יב יַחְשֹׁ֖ב תְּה֣וֹם לְשֵׂיבָֽה׃	Behind him he leaves a shining wake; one would think the deep to be white-haired.	It leaves a glistening wake behind it; one would think the deep had white hair.
33	אֵֽין־ עַל־ עָפָ֥ר מָשְׁל֑וֹ הֶ֝עָשׂ֗וּ לִבְלִי־ חָֽת׃	On earth there is not his like, a creature without fear.	Nothing on earth is its equal— a creature without fear.
34	אֵֽת־ כָּל־ גָּבֹ֥הַּ יִרְאֶ֑ה ה֝֗וּא מֶ֣לֶךְ עַל־ כָּל־ בְּנֵי־ שָֽׁחַץ׃ ס	He sees everything that is high; he is king over all the sons of pride.”	It looks down on all that are haughty; it is king over all that are proud.”
