16 One is so near to another that no air can come between them.
16 each is so close to the next that no air can pass between.
17 They are joined one to another; they stick together, that they cannot be sundered.
17 They are joined fast to one another; they cling together and cannot be parted.
18 By his sneezings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.

28 Arrows do not make it flee; slingstones are like chaff to it.
29 Darts are counted as stubble; he laugheth at the shaking of a spear.
29 A club seems to it but a piece of straw; it laughs at the rattling of the lance.
30 Sharp potsherds are his undersides; he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire.
30 Its undersides are jagged potsherds, leaving a trail in the mud like a threshing sledge.
31 He maketh the deep to boil like a pot; he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment.
31 It makes the depths churn like a boiling caldron and stirs up the sea like a pot of ointment.
32 He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary.
32 It leaves a glistening wake behind it; one would think the deep had white hair.
33 Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear.
33 Nothing on earth is its equal— a creature without fear.
34 He beholdeth all high things; he is a king over all the children of pride."
34 It looks down on all that are haughty; it is king over all that are proud.”
