23
The folds of its skin are tightly joined; they are set and cannot be moved.
24
Its chest is as hard as a rock, even as hard as a grinding stone.
25
The powerful fear its terrible looks and draw back in fear as it moves.
26
The sword that hits it does not hurt it, nor the arrows, darts, and spears.
27
It treats iron as if it were straw and bronze metal as if it were rotten wood.
28
It does not run away from arrows; stones from slings are like chaff to it.
29
Clubs feel like pieces of straw to it, and it laughs when they shake a spear at it.
30
The underside of its body is like broken pieces of pottery. It leaves a trail in the mud like a threshing board.
31
It makes the deep sea bubble like a boiling pot; it stirs up the sea like a pot of oil.
32
When it swims, it leaves a shining path in the water that makes the sea look as if it had white hair.
33
Nothing else on earth is equal to it; it is a creature without fear.
