17 The shields are joined to each other. They hold together so tightly that they cannot be pulled apart.
18 When Leviathan sneezes, it is like lightning flashing out. His eyes shine like the light of dawn.
19 Burning torches come from his mouth. Sparks of fire shoot out.
20 Smoke pours from his nose like burning weeds under a boiling pot.
21 His breath sets coals on fire, and flames shoot from his mouth.
22 His neck is very powerful. People are afraid and run away from him.
23 There is no soft spot in his skin. It is as hard as iron.
