Job 41:12-22

12“I will not be silent about Leviathan’s limbs, its strength, or its graceful form.

13Who can skin its hide? Who can approach it with a harness?

14Who can open its closed mouth? Its teeth are surrounded by terror.

15Its back has rows of scales that are tightly sealed.

16One is so close to the other that there is no space between them.

17Each is joined to the other. They are locked together and inseparable.

18When Leviathan sneezes, it gives out a flash of light. Its eyes are like the first rays of the dawn.

19Flames shoot from its mouth. Sparks of fire fly from it.

20Smoke comes from its nostrils like a boiling pot heated over brushwood.

21Its breath sets coals on fire, and a flame pours from its mouth.

22Strength resides in its neck, and power dances in front of it.
