Job

Chapter 41

1 Can you draw4900 out leviathan3882 with an hook?100 or his tongue3956 with a cord2256 which you let8257 down?8257

2 Can you put7760 an hook2443 into his nose?639 or bore5344 his jaw3895 through with a thorn?2336

3 Will he make many7235 supplications8469 to you? will he speak1696 soft7390 words to you?

4 Will he make3772 a covenant1285 with you? will you take3947 him for a servant5650 for ever?5769

5 Will you play7832 with him as with a bird?6833 or will you bind7194 him for your maidens?5291

6 Shall the companions2271 make a banquet3738 of him? shall they part2673 him among996 the merchants?3669

7 Can you fill4390 his skin5785 with barbed7905 irons?7905 or his head7218 with fish1709 spears?6767

8 Lay7760 your hand3709 on him, remember2142 the battle,4421 do no408 more.3254

9 Behold,2005 the hope8431 of him is in vain:3576 shall not one be cast2904 down2904 even1571 at the sight4758 of him?

10 None3808 is so fierce393 that dare stir5782 him up: who4310 then is able to stand3320 before6440 me?

11 Who4310 has prevented6923 me, that I should repay7999 him? whatever is under8478 the whole3605 heaven8064 is mine.

12 I will not conceal2790 his parts,905 nor his power,1369 nor his comely2433 proportion.6187

13 Who4310 can discover1540 the face6440 of his garment?3830 or who4310 can come935 to him with his double3718 bridle?7448

14 Who4310 can open6605 the doors1817 of his face?6440 his teeth8127 are terrible367 round5439 about.

15 His scales650 4043 are his pride,1346 shut5462 up together as with a close6862 seal.2368

16 One259 is so near5066 to another,259 that no3808 air7307 can come935 between996 them.

17 They are joined1692 one376 to another,251 they stick3920 together, that they cannot3808 be sundered.6504

18 By his neesings5846 a light216 does shine,1984 and his eyes5869 are like the eyelids6079 of the morning.7837

19 Out of his mouth6310 go1980 burning3940 lamps,3940 and sparks3590 of fire784 leap4422 out.

20 Out of his nostrils5156 goes3318 smoke,6227 as out of a seething5301 pot1731 or caldron.100

21 His breath5315 kindles3857 coals,1513 and a flame3851 goes3318 out of his mouth.6310

22 In his neck6677 remains3885 strength,5797 and sorrow1670 is turned1750 into joy before6440 him.

23 The flakes4651 of his flesh1320 are joined1692 together: they are firm3332 in themselves; they cannot1077 be moved.4131

24 His heart3820 is as firm3332 as a stone;68 yes, as hard3332 as a piece6400 of the nether8482 millstone.

25 When he raises7613 up himself, the mighty410 are afraid:1481 by reason of breakings7667 they purify2398 themselves.

26 The sword2719 of him that lays5381 at him cannot1097 hold:6965 the spear,2595 the dart,4551 nor the habergeon.8302

27 He esteems2803 iron1270 as straw,8401 and brass5154 as rotten7539 wood.6086

28 The arrow1121 7198 cannot3808 make him flee:1272 sling stones68 7050 are turned2015 with him into stubble.7179

29 Darts8455 are counted2803 as stubble:7179 he laughs7832 at the shaking7494 of a spear.3591

30 Sharp2303 stones2789 are under8478 him: he spreads7502 sharp2742 pointed2742 things on the mire.2916

31 He makes the deep4688 to boil7570 like a pot:5518 he makes7760 the sea3220 like a pot of ointment.4841

32 He makes a path5410 to shine215 after310 him; one would think2803 the deep8415 to be hoary.7872

33 On earth6083 there is not his like,4915 who is made6213 without1097 fear.2844

34 He beholds7200 all3605 high1364 things: he is a king4428 over5921 all3605 the children1121 of pride.7830
