Jubilee2000 - Job - 41

41:1  Canst thou draw out leviathan with a hook or with the cord [which] thou lettest down on his tongue?

41:2  Canst thou put a hook into his nose or bore his jaw through with a thorn?

41:3  Will he make many supplications unto thee? Will he speak soft [words] unto thee?

41:4  Will he make a covenant with thee that thou shall take him for a servant for ever?

41:5  Wilt thou play with him as [with] a bird, or wilt thou tie him up for thy maidens?

41:6  Shall the companions make a banquet of him? Shall they part him among the merchants?

41:7  Canst thou cut his skin with knives or his head with a fish spear?

41:8  Lay thine hand upon him; thou shalt remember the battle and do no more.

41:9  Behold, your hope [regarding] him shall fail; for even at the sight of him they shall faint.

41:10  No one [is so] bold as to dare stir him up; who then shall be able to stand before me?

41:11  Who has preceded me, that I should repay [him]? All that is under the whole heaven is mine.

41:12  I will not conceal his lies, nor his might, nor the beauty of his order.

41:13  Who shall uncover the face of his garment? [Or] who shall come to him with a double bridle?

41:14  Who shall open the doors of his face? The orders of his teeth [are] terrible.

41:15  His scales [are his] pride, shut up together [as with] a close seal.

41:16  One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.

41:17  They are joined one to another; they stick together, that they cannot be separated.

41:18  By his sneezings lights are lit, and his eyes [are] like the eyelids of the morning.

41:19  Out of his mouth go burning lamps, [and] sparks of fire leap out.

41:20  Out of his nostrils goes forth smoke, as [out] of a seething pot or caldron.

41:21  His breath kindles coals, and a flame goes out of his mouth.

41:22  In his neck dwells strength, and before him the work is undone.

41:23  The failings of his flesh are joined together; [his flesh] is firm in him and does not move.

41:24  His heart is as firm as a stone; as hard as a piece of the lower [millstone].

41:25  Of his greatness, the mighty are afraid; by reason of breakings they remove sin from themselves.

41:26  When one catches up to him, no sword or spear or dart or coat of mail shall endure [against him].

41:27  He esteems iron as straw [and] bronze as rotten wood.

41:28  The arrow cannot make him flee; with him, slingstones are turned into stubble.

41:29  He counts any weapon as stubble; he laughs at the shaking of a spear.

41:30  Broken clay vessels [are] under him; he carves his imprint upon the mire.

41:31  He makes the deep to boil like a pot; he makes the sea like a pot of ointment.

41:32  He makes the path shine after him; [one] would think the deep [to be] hoary.

41:33  Upon earth there is not his like, who behaves without fear.

41:34  He despises all exalted [things]; he is king over all the sons of pride.:
