| 30 His underparts are like sharp potsherds; he spreads himself like a threshing sledge on the mire. | 30 His undersides are jagged potsherds, leaving a trail in the mud like a threshing sledge. |
| 31 He makes the deep boil like a pot; he makes the sea like a pot of ointment. | 31 He makes the depths churn like a boiling caldron and stirs up the sea like a pot of ointment. |
| 32 Behind him he leaves a shining wake; one would think the deep to be hoary. | 32 Behind him he leaves a glistening wake; one would think the deep had white hair. |
| 33 Upon earth there is not his like, a creature without fear. | 33 Nothing on earth is his equal-- a creature without fear. |
| 34 He beholds everything that is high; he is king over all the sons of pride." | 34 He looks down on all that are haughty; he is king over all that are proud." |
