jps@Job:41:1 @ Canst thou draw out leviathan with a fish-hook? or press down his tongue with a cord?

jps@Job:41:2 @ Canst thou put a ring into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a hook?

jps@Job:41:3 @ Will he make many supplications unto thee? or will he speak soft words unto thee?

jps@Job:41:4 @ Will he make a covenant with thee, that thou shouldest take him for a servant for ever?

jps@Job:41:5 @ Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? Or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?

jps@Job:41:6 @ Will the bands of fishermen make a banquet of him? Will they part him among the merchants?

jps@Job:41:7 @ Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish-spears?

jps@Job:41:8 @ Lay thy hand upon him; think upon the battle, thou wilt do so no more.

jps@Job:41:9 @ Behold, the hope of him is in vain; shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him?

jps@Job:41:10 @ None is so fierce that dare stir him up; who then is able to stand before Me?

jps@Job:41:11 @ Who hath given Me anything beforehand, that I should repay him? Whatsoever is under the whole heaven is Mine.

jps@Job:41:12 @ Would I keep silence concerning his boastings, or his proud talk, or his fair array of words?

jps@Job:41:13 @ Who can uncover the face of his garment? Who shall come within his double bridle?

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

jps@Job:41:15 @ His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal.

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

jps@Job:41:17 @ They are joined one to another; they stick together, that they cannot be sundered.

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

jps@Job:41:19 @ Out of his mouth go burning torches, and sparks of fire leap forth.

jps@Job:41:20 @ Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot and burning rushes.

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

jps@Job:41:22 @ In his neck abideth strength, and dismay danceth before him.

jps@Job:41:23 @ The flakes of his flesh are joined together; they are firm upon him; they cannot be moved.

jps@Job:41:24 @ His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, firm as the nether millstone.

jps@Job:41:25 @ When he raiseth himself up, the mighty are afraid; by reason of despair they are beside themselves.

jps@Job:41:26 @ If one lay at him with the sword, it will not hold; nor the spear, the dart, nor the pointed shaft.

jps@Job:41:27 @ He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.

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

jps@Job:41:29 @ Clubs are accounted as stubble; he laugheth at the rattling of the javelin.

jps@Job:41:30 @ Sharpest potsherds are under him; he spreadeth a threshing-sledge upon the mire.

jps@Job:41:31 @ He maketh the deep to boil like a pot; he maketh the sea like a seething mixture.

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

jps@Job:41:33 @ Upon earth there is not his like, who is made to be fearless.

jps@Job:41:34 @ He looketh at all high things; he is king over all the proud beasts.
