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.
21
His breath kindles coals, and a flame goes out of his mouth.
22
In his neck dwells strength, and before him the work is undone.
23
The failings of his flesh are joined together;
his flesh is firm in him and does not move.
24
His heart is as firm as a stone; as hard as a piece of the lower
millstone.
25
Of his greatness, the mighty are afraid; by reason of breakings they remove sin from themselves.
