ABP - Job - 41

41:1  And shall you lead the dragon by a hook, and put a halter around his nose?

41:2  Or will you tie a hook in his nose, [4for a clasp 1and 2will you make a hole 3in his lip]?

41:3  And will he speak to you [2supplications 1earnest] softly?

41:4  [2will he establish 1And 4with 5you 3a covenant]? And will you take him [2servant 1for an everlasting]?

41:5  And will you play with him as a bird? Or will you bind him as a sparrow for a child?

41:6  [3feed 1And do 4in 5him 2nations]? [4partition 1And do 5him 3of the Phoenicians 2the nations]?

41:7  And everything afloat coming together in no way shall bear the hide [2one 3tail 1of his]; nor in the boats of fishermen shall they bear his head.

41:8  But shall you place a hand on him, remembering the war taking place in his body, and let it no longer take place?

41:9  Have you not seen him, nor [2over 3the ones 4speaking 1wondered]?

41:10  Are you not in awe that it has been prepared by me? For who is the one opposing me?

41:11  Or who shall oppose me and remain, since all under heaven is mine?

41:12  I will not keep silent because of him; and the word of power shall show mercy equal to him.

41:13  Who will uncover the front of his clothing? and into the fold of his chest plate who can enter?

41:14  [3the gates 4of his face 1Who 2will open]? Round about his teeth is fear;

41:15  His insides are as shields of brass, [3sinews 1and 2his] are as emery stone.

41:16  One of one cleaves together, and wind in no way goes through it;

41:17  as a man to his brother they shall be cleaved; they are held together, and in no way draw apart.

41:18  In his sneezing [2shines forth 1brightness], and his eyes are as the appearance of the morning star.

41:19  From out of his mouth [3shall go forth 2lamps 1burning], and scattered grates of fire.

41:20  From out of his nostrils comes forth smoke of a furnace burning [2of fire 1with coals].

41:21  His soul is as live coals; and a flame [2from out of 3his mouth 1goes forth].

41:22  And in his neck lodges power. [3before 4him 2runs 1Destruction].

41:23  And the flesh of his body cleaves tightly. If one pours down upon him, he will not be shaken.

41:24  His heart is fixed as stone, and he stands as an anvil, not malleable.

41:25  [3turning 1And 2his] gives fear [2wild beasts 1to the four-footed 4upon 5the earth 3leaping].

41:26  If [2should meet up with 3him 1lances], nothing in any way shall terrify by spear and chest plate.

41:27  For he esteems iron as straw, and brass as [2wood 1rotten].

41:28  In no way shall [3pierce 4him 1the bow 2of brass]. He esteems a slinger indeed as grass;

41:29  [3as 4stubble 2are considered 1hammers]; and he ridicules the quaking of a fire-bearer.

41:30  His strewn bed [2points 1is of sharp]; and all the gold of the sea under him is as [2mud 1untold].

41:31  [3breaks out 1The 2abyss] as a brazen cauldron; and he esteems the sea as an ointment jar.

41:32  And the infernal region of the abyss is as if a captive; he considers the abyss for a promenade.

41:33  There is not anything upon the earth likened to him, being made, to be mocked at by my angels.

41:34  Every lofty thing he sees; and he is king of all the things in the waters.
