Job 41:12-34

12“I will not keep silence concerning his limbs, Or his mighty strength, or his 1orderly frame.13Who can 2strip off his outer armor? Who can come within his double 3mail?14Who can open the doors of his face? Around his teeth there is terror.15His 4strong scales are his pride, Shut up as with a tight seal.16One is so near to another That no air can come between them.17They are joined one to another; They clasp each other and cannot be separated.18His sneezes flash forth light, And his eyes are like the 5eyelids of the morning.19Out of his mouth go burning torches; Sparks of fire leap forth.20Out of his nostrils smoke goes forth As from a boiling pot and burning rushes.21His breath kindles coals, And a flame goes forth from his mouth.22In his neck lodges strength, And dismay leaps before him.23The folds of his flesh are joined together, Firm on him and immovable.24His heart is as hard as a stone, Even as hard as a lower millstone.25When he raises himself up, the 6mighty fear; Because of the crashing they are bewildered.26The sword that reaches him cannot avail, Nor the spear, the dart or the javelin.27He regards iron as straw, Bronze as rotten wood.28The 7arrow cannot make him flee; Slingstones are turned into stubble for him.29Clubs are regarded as stubble; He laughs at the rattling of the javelin.30His underparts are like sharp potsherds; He 8spreads out like a threshing sledge on the mire.31He makes the depths boil like a pot; He makes the sea like a jar of ointment.32Behind him he makes a wake to shine; One would think the deep to be gray-haired.339Nothing on 10earth is like him, One made without fear.3411He looks on everything that is high; He is king over all the 12sons of pride.”
