Job 41:20-28

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.

23The folds of its flesh stick to each other. They are solid and cannot be moved.

24Its chest is solid like a rock, solid like a millstone.

25“The mighty are afraid when Leviathan rises. Broken down, they draw back.

26A sword may strike it but not pierce it. Neither will a spear, lance, or dart.

27It considers iron to be like straw and bronze to be like rotten wood.

28An arrow won’t make it run away. Stones from a sling turn to dust against it.
