CPDV - Job - 41

41:1  I will not rouse him, as the cruel would do, for who is able to withstand my countenance?

41:2  Who has given to me beforehand, so that I should repay him? All things that are under heaven are mine.

41:3  I will not spare him, nor his powerful words and counterfeit attempts at supplication.

41:4  Who can reveal the beauty of his garment? And who can enter the middle of his mouth?

41:5  Who can open the doors of his face? I gave fear to the circle of his teeth.

41:6  His body is like shields fused together, like dense scales pressed over one another.

41:7  One is joined to another, and not even air can pass between them.

41:8  They adhere to one another, and they hold themselves in place and will not be separated.

41:9  His sneezing has the brilliance of fire, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.

41:10  Lamps proceed from his mouth, like torches of fire burning brightly.

41:11  Smoke passes out of his nostrils, like a pot that is heated and boiling.

41:12  His breath causes coal to burn, and a flame comes forth from his mouth.

41:13  Strength dwells in his neck, and destitution goes before his presence.

41:14  The parts of his body work in harmony together. He will send lightning bolts against him, and they will not be carried to another place.

41:15  His heart will be as hard as a stone and as dense as a blacksmith’s anvil.

41:16  When he will be raised up, the angels will be afraid, and, because they are terrified, they will purify themselves.

41:17  When a sword catches up with him, it will not be able to settle in, nor a spear, nor a breastplate.

41:18  For he will consider iron as if it were chaff, and brass as if it were rotten wood.

41:19  The archer will not cause him to flee; the stones of the sling have been turned into stubble for him.

41:20  He will treat the hammer as if it were stubble, and he will ridicule those who brandish the spear.

41:21  The beams of the sun will be under him, and he will dispense gold to them as if it were clay.

41:22  He will make the depths of the sea boil like a pot, and he will set it to bubble just as ointments do.

41:23  A path will shine after him; he will esteem the abyss as if it were weakening with age.

41:24  There is no power on the earth that is being compared to him, who has been made so that he fears no one.

41:25  He sees every prominent thing; he is king over all the sons of arrogance.
