God continues 'He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment.' This verse describes Leviathan as causing the sea itself to boil and churn. The creature's power is so great that it agitates the depths of the ocean. The image of the sea being made like a pot of ointment suggests that the creature's presence transforms the character of the sea itself. The verse ascribes to Leviathan the power to alter the fundamental character of its environment.
