Its bones [are] tubes of copper, its limbs like rods of iron. "It [is] the first of God's actions; the [one who] made him furnishes [it with] his sword. Yes, [the] mountains yield produce for it, and all {wild animals} play there. Under [the] lotus tree it lies, in [the] hiding place of [the] reeds and [in the] marsh. [The] lotus trees cover it [with] their shade; [the] wadi's poplar trees surround it. Look, [if the] river is turbulent, it is not frightened; it is confident even though [the] Jordan rushes against its mouth. Can anyone take it by its eyes? Can he pierce [its] nose with a snare?

Will it make a covenant with you? Will you take it as a slave forever? Will you play with it as [with] birds and put it on a leash for your girls? Will guildsmen bargain over it? Will they divide it between tradesmen? Can you fill its kin with harpoons or its head with fish spears? Lay your hands on it; think about [the] battle--you will not do [it] again! "Look, {the hope of capturing it} is false. Will one be hurled down even at its sight? [Is] it not fierce when somebody stirs it? Who [then] [is] he [who] would stand {before it}? Who has come to confront me, that I should repay [him]? Under all the heavens, {it belongs to me}. "I will not keep quiet [concerning] its limbs or concerning [the] extent of its might and [the] gracefulness of its frame. Who can strip off {its outer covering}? Who can penetrate its double harness? Who can open [the] doors of its face? Its teeth all around [are] fearsome. Its back [has] scales of shields; it is shut up closely [as with] a seal. They are close {to one another}-- even [the] air cannot come between them. They are joined {one to another}; they cling together and cannot be separated. "Its snorting flashes forth light, and its eyes [are] {red like dawn}. Torches go from its mouth; sparks of fire shoot out. Smoke comes from its nostrils as [from] a kettle boiling and [burning] bulrushes. Its breath kindles charcoal, and a flame comes from its mouth. "Strength abides in its neck, and dismay dances {before it}. Its flesh's folds of skin cling together; it is cast on it--it will not be moved. Its heart is cast as stone; yes, it is cast as [the] lower millstone. {When it raises itself}, [the] mighty ones are terrified; they retreat because of its thrashing. Reaching it [with the] sword does not avail, [nor] [with the] spear, [the] dart, or [the] javelin. It regards iron as straw, bronze as rotten wood. {An arrow} will not make it flee; sling stones are turned to stubble for it. Clubs are regarded as stubble, and it laughs at [the] short sword's rattle. "Its underparts [are] shards of a potsherd; it moves over mud [like] a threshing sledge. It makes [the] deep boil like a cooking pot; it makes [the] sea like a pot of ointment. Behind it, {it leaves a glistening wake}; one would think [that] the deep [has] gray hair. "{On the ground it has no equal}-- a creature without fear. It observes all [the] lofty; it [is] king {over all that are proud}."

Psalm 104:26
