10  No one is so fierce that he dares to ⁱstir him up.

Who then is he who can stand before me?

11  ^jWho has first given to me, that I should repay him?

^kWhatever is under the whole heaven is mine.

12  “I will not keep silence concerning his limbs,

or his mighty strength, or his goodly frame.

13  Who can strip off his outer garment?

Who would come near him with a bridle?

14  Who can open the doors of his face?

Around his teeth is terror.

15  His back is made of¹ rows of shields,

shut up closely as with a seal.

16  One is so near to another

that no air can come between them.

17  They are joined one to another;

they clasp each other and cannot be separated.

18  His sneezings flash forth light,

and his eyes are like the ^leyelids of the dawn.

19  Out of his mouth go flaming torches;

sparks of fire leap forth.

20  Out of his nostrils comes forth smoke,

as from a boiling pot and burning rushes.
