Job:41:1-34
rsv@Job:41:1 @ "Can you draw out Levi'athan with a fishhook, or press down his tongue with a cord?
rsv@Job:41:2 @ Can you put a rope in his nose, or pierce his jaw with a hook?
rsv@Job:41:3 @ Will he make many supplications to you? Will he speak to you soft words?
rsv@Job:41:4 @ Will he make a covenant with you to take him for your servant for ever?
rsv@Job:41:5 @ Will you play with him as with a bird, or will you put him on leash for your maidens?
rsv@Job:41:6 @ Will traders bargain over him? Will they divide him up among the merchants?
rsv@Job:41:7 @ Can you fill his skin with harpoons, or his head with fishing spears?
rsv@Job:41:8 @ Lay hands on him; think of the battle; you will not do it again!
rsv@Job:41:9 @ Behold, the hope of a man is disappointed; he is laid low even at the sight of him.
rsv@Job:41:10 @ No one is so fierce that he dares to stir him up. Who then is he that can stand before me?
rsv@Job:41:11 @ Who has given to me, that I should repay him? Whatever is under the whole heaven is mine.
rsv@Job:41:12 @ "I will not keep silence concerning his limbs, or his mighty strength, or his goodly frame.
rsv@Job:41:13 @ Who can strip off his outer garment? Who can penetrate his double coat of mail?
rsv@Job:41:14 @ Who can open the doors of his face? Round about his teeth is terror.
rsv@Job:41:15 @ His back is made of rows of shields, shut up closely as with a seal.
rsv@Job:41:16 @ One is so near to another that no air can come between them.
rsv@Job:41:17 @ They are joined one to another; they clasp each other and cannot be separated.
rsv@Job:41:18 @ His sneezings flash forth light, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the dawn.
rsv@Job:41:19 @ Out of his mouth go flaming torches; sparks of fire leap forth.
rsv@Job:41:20 @ Out of his nostrils comes forth smoke, as from a boiling pot and burning rushes.
rsv@Job:41:21 @ His breath kindles coals, and a flame comes forth from his mouth.
rsv@Job:41:22 @ In his neck abides strength, and terror dances before him.
rsv@Job:41:23 @ The folds of his flesh cleave together, firmly cast upon him and immovable.
rsv@Job:41:24 @ His heart is hard as a stone, hard as the nether millstone.
rsv@Job:41:25 @ When he raises himself up the mighty are afraid; at the crashing they are beside themselves.
rsv@Job:41:26 @ Though the sword reaches him, it does not avail; nor the spear, the dart, or the javelin.
rsv@Job:41:27 @ He counts iron as straw, and bronze as rotten wood.
rsv@Job:41:28 @ The arrow cannot make him flee; for him slingstones are turned to stubble.
rsv@Job:41:29 @ Clubs are counted as stubble; he laughs at the rattle of javelins.
rsv@Job:41:30 @ His underparts are like sharp potsherds; he spreads himself like a threshing sledge on the mire.
rsv@Job:41:31 @ He makes the deep boil like a pot; he makes the sea like a pot of ointment.
rsv@Job:41:32 @ Behind him he leaves a shining wake; one would think the deep to be hoary.
rsv@Job:41:33 @ Upon earth there is not his like, a creature without fear.
rsv@Job:41:34 @ He beholds everything that is high; he is king over all the sons of pride."
