God continues 'Who can strip off his outer garment? Who can penetrate his double coat of armor?' This verse describes Leviathan as protected by armor-like skin. The creature is so well-protected that penetrating its defenses is impossible. The image of armor suggests that Leviathan is not merely strong but protected. The verse emphasizes the creature's invulnerability to attack. Job, who cannot penetrate Leviathan's armor, is again established as powerless.
