Job 41




dby@Job:41:1 @ Wilt thou draw out the leviathan with the hook, and press down his tongue with a cord?

dby@Job:41:2 @ Wilt thou put a rush-rope into his nose, and pierce his jaw with a spike?

dby@Job:41:3 @ Will he make many supplications unto thee? or will he speak softly unto thee?

dby@Job:41:4 @ Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him as a bondman for ever?

dby@Job:41:5 @ Wilt thou play with him as with a bird, and wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?

dby@Job:41:6 @ Shall partners make traffic of him, will they divide him among merchants?

dby@Job:41:7 @ Wilt thou fill his skin with darts, and his head with fish-spears?

dby@Job:41:8 @ Lay thy hand upon him; remember the battle, -- do no more!

dby@Job:41:9 @ Lo, hope as to him is belied: is not one cast down even at the sight of him?

dby@Job:41:10 @ None is so bold as to stir him up; and who is he that will stand before me?

dby@Job:41:11 @ Who hath first given to me, that I should repay [him]? [Whatsoever is] under the whole heaven is mine.

dby@Job:41:12 @ I will not be silent as to his parts, the story of his power, and the beauty of his structure.

dby@Job:41:13 @ Who can uncover the surface of his garment? who can come within his double jaws?

dby@Job:41:14 @ Who can open the doors of his face? Round about his teeth is terror.

dby@Job:41:15 @ The rows of his shields are a pride, shut up together [as with] a close seal.

dby@Job:41:16 @ One is so near to another that no air can come between them;

dby@Job:41:17 @ They are joined each to its fellow; they stick together, and cannot be sundered.

dby@Job:41:18 @ His sneezings flash light, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.

dby@Job:41:19 @ Out of his mouth go forth flames; sparks of fire leap out:

dby@Job:41:20 @ Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a boiling pot and cauldron.

dby@Job:41:21 @ His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.

dby@Job:41:22 @ In his neck lodgeth strength, and terror danceth before him.

dby@Job:41:23 @ The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are fused upon him, they cannot be moved.

dby@Job:41:24 @ His heart is firm as a stone, yea, firm as the nether [millstone].

dby@Job:41:25 @ When he raiseth himself up, the mighty are afraid: they are beside themselves with consternation.

dby@Job:41:26 @ If any reach him with a sword, it cannot hold; neither spear, nor dart, nor harpoon.

dby@Job:41:27 @ He esteemeth iron as straw, bronze as rotten wood.

dby@Job:41:28 @ The arrow will not make him flee; slingstones are turned with him into stubble.

dby@Job:41:29 @ Clubs are counted as stubble; he laugheth at the shaking of a javelin.

dby@Job:41:30 @ His under parts are sharp potsherds: he spreadeth a threshing-sledge upon the mire.

dby@Job:41:31 @ He maketh the deep to boil like a pot; he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment;

dby@Job:41:32 @ He maketh the path to shine after him: one would think the deep to be hoary.

dby@Job:41:33 @ Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear.

dby@Job:41:34 @ He beholdeth all high things; he is king over all the proud beasts.
