noyes@Job:41:1 @ Canst thou draw forth the crocodile with a hook, Or press down his tongue with a cord?

noyes@Job:41:2 @ Canst thou put a rope into his nose, Or pierce his cheek with a hook?

noyes@Job:41:3 @ Will he make many entreaties to thee? Will he speak soft words to thee?

noyes@Job:41:4 @ Will he make a covenant with thee? Canst thou take him for a servant for ever?

noyes@Job:41:5 @ Canst thou play with him, as with a bird? Or canst thou bind him for thy maidens?

noyes@Job:41:6 @ Do men in company lay snares for him? Do they divide him among the merchants?

noyes@Job:41:7 @ Canst thou fill his skirt with barbed irons, Or his head with fishspears?

noyes@Job:41:8 @ Do but lay thy hand upon him,Thou wilt no more think of battle!

noyes@Job:41:9 @ Behold, his hope is vain! Is he not cast down at the very sight of him?

noyes@Job:41:10 @ None is so fierce that he dare stir him up; Who then is he that can stand before me?

noyes@Job:41:11 @ Who hath done me a favor, that I must repay him? Whatever is under the whole heaven is mine.

noyes@Job:41:12 @ I will not be silent concerning his limbs, And his strength, and the beauty of his armor.

noyes@Job:41:13 @ Who can uncover the surface of his garment? Who will approach his jaws?

noyes@Job:41:14 @ Who will open the doors of his face? The rows of his teeth are terrible!

noyes@Job:41:15 @ His glory is his strong shields, United with each other, as with a close seal.

noyes@Job:41:16 @ They are joined one to another, So that no air can come between them.

noyes@Job:41:17 @ They cleave fast to each other, They hold together, and cannot be separated.

noyes@Job:41:18 @ His sneezing sendeth forth light, And his eyes are like the eyelashes of the morning.

noyes@Job:41:19 @ Out of his mouth go flames, And sparks of fire leap forth.

noyes@Job:41:20 @ From his nostrils issueth smoke, as from a heated pot, or caldron.

noyes@Job:41:21 @ His breath kindleth coals, And flames issue from his mouth.

noyes@Job:41:22 @ In his neck dwelleth strength, And terror danceth before him.

noyes@Job:41:23 @ The flakes of his flesh cleave fast together; They are firm upon him, and cannot be moved.

noyes@Job:41:24 @ His heart is solid like a stone; Yea, solid like the nether millstone.

noyes@Job:41:25 @ When he riseth up, the mighty are afraid; Yea, they lose themselves for terror.

noyes@Job:41:26 @ The sword of him that assaileth him doth not stand, The spear, the dart, nor the habergeon.

noyes@Job:41:27 @ He regardeth iron as straw, And brass as rotten wood.

noyes@Job:41:28 @ The arrow cannot make him flee; Slingstones to him become stubble;

noyes@Job:41:29 @ Clubs are accounted by him as straw; He laugheth at the shaking of the spear.

noyes@Job:41:30 @ Under him are sharp potsherds; He spreadeth out a thrashingsledge upon the mire.

noyes@Job:41:31 @ He maketh the deep to boil like a caldron; He maketh the sea like a pot of ointment.

noyes@Job:41:32 @ Behind him he leaveth a shining path; One would think the deep to be hoary.

noyes@Job:41:33 @ Upon the earth there is not his master; He is made without fear.

noyes@Job:41:34 @ He looketh down upon all that is high; He is king over all the sons of pride.
