24 Its heart is hard as rock, hard as a lower millstone.

25 When it rises up, the mighty are terrified, at its thrashing about they withdraw.

26 Whoever strikes it with a sword will have no effect, nor with the spear, arrow, or dart.

27 It regards iron as straw and bronze as rotten wood.

28 Arrows do not make it flee; slingstones become like chaff to it.

29 A club is counted as a piece of straw; it laughs at the rattling of the lance.

30 Its underparts are the sharp points of potsherds, it leaves its mark in the mud like a threshing sledge.

31 It makes the deep boil like a cauldron and stirs up the sea like a pot of ointment,

32 It leaves a glistening wake behind it; one would think the deep had a head of white hair.

33 The likes of it is not on earth, a creature without fear.

34 It looks on every haughty being; it is king over all that are proud.|
