God continues 'In his neck abides strength, and sorrow dances before him.' This verse describes Leviathan's neck as embodying strength and suggests that sorrow dances before the creature. The personification of sorrow as dancing suggests that the creature is preceded by suffering and grief. The verse suggests that Leviathan's very presence brings destruction and sorrow to others. Job is invited to contemplate a creature whose very existence inflicts suffering on others.
