No one
is so bold as to dare stir him up; who then shall be able to stand before me?
11
Who has preceded me, that I should repay
him? All that is under the whole heaven is mine.
12
I will not conceal his lies, nor his might, nor the beauty of his order.
13
Who shall uncover the face of his garment?
Or who shall come to him with a double bridle?
14
Who shall open the doors of his face? The orders of his teeth
are terrible.
15
His scales {Heb. shields}
are his pride, shut up together
as with a close seal.
16
One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.
17
They are joined one to another; they stick together, that they cannot be separated.
18
By his sneezings lights are lit, and his eyes
are like the eyelids of the morning.
19
Out of his mouth go burning lamps,
and sparks of fire leap out.
20
Out of his nostrils goes forth smoke, as
out of a seething pot or caldron.
