Contextual Overview
11 "Who has been first to give to Me, that I should repay him? Whatever is under the entire heaven is Mine. 12 "I will not be silent about his limbs, Or his mighty strength, or his graceful frame. 13 "Who can strip off his outer covering? Who can pierce his double armor? 14 "Who can open the doors of his face? Around his teeth there is terror. 15 "His strong scales are his pride, Locked as with a tight seal. 16 "One is so close 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 sneezes flash forth light, And his eyes are like the eye of dawn. 19 "From his mouth go burning torches; Sparks of fire leap forth. 20 "From his nostrils smoke goes out As from a boiling pot and burning reeds.
