vw@Job:41:1 @ Can you draw out Leviathan with a hook, or snare his tongue with a cord which you let down?

vw@Job:41:2 @ Can you put a reed rope through his nose, or pierce his jaw with a hook?

vw@Job:41:3 @ Will he make many supplications to you? Will he speak gentle words to you?

vw@Job:41:4 @ Will he make a covenant with you? Will you capture him as a slave forever?

vw@Job:41:5 @ Will you play with him as with a bird, or will you bind him on a leash for your maidens?

vw@Job:41:6 @ Will your associates bargain over him? Will they divide him up among the merchants?

vw@Job:41:7 @ Can you fill his skin with barbs, or his head with fishing spears?

vw@Job:41:8 @ Lay your hand upon him; remember the battle; you will not do it again!

vw@Job:41:9 @ Behold, any hope regarding him is false; shall one not be thrown down at the mere sight of him?

vw@Job:41:10 @ No one is so fierce that he would dare stir him up. Who then is able to stand before Me?

vw@Job:41:11 @ Who has anticipated Me, that I should repay? Everything under the heavens is Mine.

vw@Job:41:12 @ I will not keep silent with lies about his mighty utterances, or his graceful proportions.

vw@Job:41:13 @ Who has laid bare the face of his apparel? Who can come upon him with a double bridle?

vw@Job:41:14 @ Who has opened the doors of his face, with his terrible teeth all around?

vw@Job:41:15 @ His rows of shields are his pride, closed up as a tight seal;

vw@Job:41:16 @ one is so near another that no air can come between them;

vw@Job:41:17 @ they are joined one to another, they stick together and cannot be separated.

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

vw@Job:41:19 @ Out of his mouth go burning torches; sparks of fire shoot out.

vw@Job:41:20 @ Smoke goes out of his nostrils, as from a boiling pot and burning rushes.

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

vw@Job:41:22 @ Strength abides in his neck, and sorrow dances before him.

vw@Job:41:23 @ The folds of his flesh are joined together; they are firm on him and cannot be moved.

vw@Job:41:24 @ His heart is cast hard as stone, even cast hard as the lower millstone.

vw@Job:41:25 @ When he raises himself up, the mighty are afraid; because of his crashings they are beside themselves.

vw@Job:41:26 @ Though the sword overtakes him, it does not stick; nor does spear, dart, or javelin.

vw@Job:41:27 @ He regards iron as straw, and bronze as rotten wood.

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

vw@Job:41:29 @ Darts are regarded as straw; he laughs at the rattling of javelins.

vw@Job:41:30 @ His undersides are like sharp potsherds; he spreads sharp marks in the mire.

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

vw@Job:41:32 @ He leaves a shining wake behind him; one would think the deep was gray-headed.

vw@Job:41:33 @ On earth there is nothing like him, which is made without fear.

vw@Job:41:34 @ He beholds every high thing; he is king over all the children of pride.
