6 Is it ever chopped upand its pieces bargained forin the fish-market?
7 Can it be killedwith harpoons or spears?
8 Wrestle with it just once—that will be the end.
9 Merely a glimpse of this monstermakes all courage melt.
10 And if it is too fiercefor anyone to attack,who would dare oppose me?
11 I am in command of the worldand in debt to no one.
12 What powerful legs,what a stout bodythis monster possesses!
