5
Wilt thou play with him as
with a bird, or wilt thou tie him up for thy maidens?
6
Shall the companions make a banquet of him? Shall they part him among the merchants?
7
Canst thou cut his skin with knives or his head with a fish spear?
8
Lay thine hand upon him; thou shalt remember the battle and do no more.
9
Behold, your hope
regarding him shall fail; for even at the sight of him they shall faint.
10
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.
