[1]I not as cruel schal reise hym; for who may ayenstonde my face?
[2]And who `yaf to me bifore, that Y yelde to hym? Alle thingis, that ben vndur heuene, ben myne.
[3]Y schal not spare hym for myyti wordis, and maad faire to biseche.
[4]Who schal schewe the face of his clothing, and who schal entre in to the myddis of his mouth?
[5]Who schal opene the yatis of his cheer? ferdfulnesse is bi the cumpas of hise teeth.
[6]His bodi is as yotun scheldys of bras, and ioyned togidere with scalis ouerleiynge hem silf.
[7]Oon is ioyned to another; and sotheli brething goith not thorouy tho.
[8]Oon schal cleue to anothir, and tho holdynge hem silf schulen not be departid.
[9]His fnesynge is as schynynge of fier, and hise iyen ben as iyelidis of the morewtid.
[10]Laumpis comen forth of his mouth, as trees of fier, that ben kyndlid.
[11]Smoke cometh forth of hise nosethirlis, as of a pot set on the fier `and boilynge.
[12]His breeth makith colis to brenne, and flawme goith out of his mouth.
[13]Strengthe schal dwelle in his necke, and nedynesse schal go bifor his face.
[14]The membris of hise fleischis ben cleuynge togidere to hem silf; God schal sende floodis ayens hym, and tho schulen not be borun to an other place.
[15]His herte schal be maad hard as a stoon; and it schal be streyned togidere as the anefeld of a smith.
[16]Whanne he schal be takun awei, aungels schulen drede; and thei aferd schulen be purgid.
[17]Whanne swerd takith hym, it may not stonde, nethir spere, nether haburioun.
[18]For he schal arette irun as chaffis, and bras as rotun tre.
[19]A man archere schal not dryue hym awei; stoonys of a slynge ben turned in to stobil to hym.
[20]He schal arette an hamer as stobil; and he schal scorne a florischynge spere.
[21]The beemys of the sunne schulen be vndur hym; and he schal strewe to hym silf gold as cley.
[22]He schal make the depe se to buyle as a pot; and he schal putte, as whanne oynementis buylen.
[23]A path schal schyne aftir hym; he schal gesse the greet occian as wexynge eld.
[24]No power is on erthe, that schal be comparisound to hym; which is maad, that he schulde drede noon.
[25]He seeth al hiy thing; he is kyng ouer alle the sones of pride.
