41:24 Its heart 1 is hard as rock,
hard as a lower millstone.
41:25 When it rises up, the mighty are terrified,
at its thrashing about they withdraw. 2
41:26 Whoever strikes it with a sword 3
will have no effect, 4
nor with the spear, arrow, or dart.
41:27 It regards iron as straw
and bronze as rotten wood.
41:28 Arrows 5 do not make it flee;
slingstones become like chaff to it.
41:29 A club is counted 6 as a piece of straw;
it laughs at the rattling of the lance.
41:30 Its underparts 7 are the sharp points of potsherds,
it leaves its mark in the mud
like a threshing sledge. 8
41:31 It makes the deep boil like a cauldron
and stirs up the sea like a pot of ointment, 9
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 10 without fear.
41:34 It looks on every haughty being;
it is king over all that are proud.” 11
