41:20 Smoke streams from its nostrils
as from a boiling pot over burning
41:21 Its breath sets coals ablaze
and a flame shoots from its mouth.
41:22 Strength lodges in its neck,
and despair
41:23 The folds
they are firm on it, immovable.
41:24 Its heart
hard as a lower millstone.
41:25 When it rises up, the mighty are terrified,
at its thrashing about they withdraw.
41:26 Whoever strikes it with a sword
will have no effect,
nor with the spear, arrow, or dart.
41:27 It regards iron as straw
and bronze as rotten wood.
41:28 Arrows
slingstones become like chaff to it.
41:29 A club is counted
it laughs at the rattling of the lance.
41:30 Its underparts
it leaves its mark in the mud
like a threshing sledge.
41:31 It makes the deep boil like a cauldron
and stirs up the sea like a pot of ointment,
41:32 It leaves a glistening wake behind it;
one would think the deep had a head of white hair.
41:33 The likes of it is not on earth,
a creature
41:34 It looks on every haughty being;
it is king over all that are proud.”
