8 Lay thy hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more.
Put on it hands your remember [the] battle may not you repeat.
9 Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him?
There! hope his it is proved a lie ¿ also because of appearance its everyone is thrown down.
10 None is so fierce that he dare rouse him: who then is able to stand before me?
Not fierce that he will rouse it and who? that before me will he take his stand.
11 Who hath given to me, that I should repay him? whatever is under the whole heaven is mine.
Who? has he confronted me and I may repay under all the heavens [belongs] to me it.
12 I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion.
(To it *QK) I will keep silent limbs its and [the] matter of strength and [the] grace of arrangement its.
13 Who can uncover the face of his garment? or who can come to him with his double bridle?
Who? has he uncovered [the] surface of clothing its in [the] doubling of halter its who? will he come.
14 Who can open the doors of his face? Around his teeth there is terror.
[the] doors of Face its who? has he opened [is] around teeth its terror.
15 His scales are his pride, shut together as with a close seal.
Pride [is] rows of shields shut up a seal tight.
16 One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.
One on one they draw near and a breath not it goes between them.
17 They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered.
Each on brother its they are joined together they grasp one another and not they are separated.
18 His sneezes flash light, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.
Sneezing its it flashes forth light and eyes its [are] like [the] eyelids of dawn.
19 Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire dart forth.
From mouth its torches they go sparks of fire they escape.
20 Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a boiling pot or caldron.
From nostrils its it goes forth smoke like a pot blown upon and bulrush[es].
21 His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.
Breath its coals it kindles and a flame from mouth its it goes forth.
22 In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him.
In neck its it lodges strength and before it it leaps dismay.
23 The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved.
[the] hanging parts of Flesh its they cling hard to it not it is moved.
24 His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the lower millstone.
Heart its [is] hard like a stone and hard like a mill-stone lower.
25 When he raiseth himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of the crashing they purify themselves.
From uprising its they are afraid mighty ones from crashing they are bewildered.
26 The sword of him that overtaketh him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor the javelin.
[one who] reaches It a sword not it is established a spear a dart and a javelin.
27 He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.
It considers to straw iron to wood of rottenness bronze.
28 The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him into stubble.
Not it makes flee it [the] son of a bow into chaff they are changed for it stones of a sling.
29 Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a spear.
Like chaff they are regarded a club so it may laugh to [the] shaking of a javelin.
30 Sharp stones are under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire.
Under it [are] sharp points of potsherd[s] it spreads out a threshing sledge on mud.
31 He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment.
It makes boil like pot [the] deep [the] sea it makes like pot of ointment.
32 He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary.
Behind it it makes shine a path anyone considers [the] deep to grey hair.
33 Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear.
Not [is] on [the] dust likeness its the [one] made for not fear.
34 He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.
Every exalted [one] it sees it [is] king over all [the] sons of pride.
