23
The plates of his flesh are joined together, fixed, and not to be moved.
24
His heart is as strong as a stone, hard as the lower crushing-stone.
25
When he gets ready for the fight, the strong are overcome with fear.
26
The sword may come near him but is not able to go through him; the spear, or the arrow, or the sharp-pointed iron.
27
Iron is to him as dry grass, and brass as soft wood.
28
The arrow is not able to put him to flight: stones are no more to him than dry stems.
29
A thick stick is no better than a leaf of grass, and he makes sport of the onrush of the spear.
30
Under him are sharp edges of broken pots: as if he was pulling a grain-crushing instrument over the wet earth.
31
The deep is boiling like a pot of spices, and the sea like a perfume-vessel.
32
After him his way is shining, so that the deep seems white.
33
On earth there is not another like him, who is made without fear.
