Job 41:4-26

4Will he makeH3772 a covenantH1285 with you? Will you takeH3947 him for a servantH5650 foreverH5769?5Will you playH7832 with him as with a birdH6833, Or will you bindH7194 him for your maidensH5291?6Will the 1tradersH2271 bargainH3739 overH5921 him? Will they divideH2673 him amongH996 the merchantsH3669?7Can you fillH4390 his skinH5785 with harpoonsH7905, Or his headH7218 with fishingH1709 spearsH6767?8LayH7760 your handH3709 on him; RememberH2142 the battleH4421; 2you will not doH3254 it againH3254!93BeholdH2005, 4your expectationH8431 is falseH3576; Will 5you be laidH2904 lowH2904 evenH1571 at the sightH4758 of him?10NoH3808 one is so fierceH393 that he dares to 6arouseH5782 him; WhoH4310 then is he that can standH3320 beforeH6440 Me?11WhoH4310 has 78givenH6923 to Me that I should repayH7999 him? Whatever is 9underH8478 the wholeH3605 heavenH8064 is Mine.

12“I will not keepH2790 silenceH2790 concerning his limbsH905, Or his mightyH1369 strengthH1369, or his 10orderlyH2433 frameH6187.13WhoH4310 can 11stripH1540 offH1540 his outerH6440 armorH3830? WhoH4310 can comeH935 within his doubleH3718 12mailH7448?14WhoH4310 can openH6605 the doorsH1817 of his faceH6440? AroundH5439 his teethH8127 there is terrorH367.15His 13strongH4651 scalesH4043 are his prideH1346, ShutH5462 up as with a tightH6862 sealH2368.16OneH259 is so nearH5066 to anotherH259 That noH3808 airH7307 can comeH935 betweenH996 them.17They are joinedH1692 oneH376 to anotherH251; They claspH3920 eachH376 other and cannotH3808 be separatedH6504.18His sneezesH5846 flashH1984 forthH1984 lightH216, And his eyesH5869 are like the 14eyelidsH6079 of the morningH7837.19Out of his mouthH6310 goH1980 burningH3940 torchesH3940; SparksH3590 of fireH784 leapH4422 forthH4422.20Out of his nostrilsH5156 smokeH6227 goesH3318 forthH3318 As from a boilingH5301 potH1731 and burning rushesH100.21His breathH5315 kindlesH3857 coalsH1513, And a flameH3851 goesH3318 forthH3318 from his mouthH6310.22In his neckH6677 lodgesH3885 strengthH5797, And dismayH1670 leapsH1750 beforeH6440 him.23The foldsH4651 of his fleshH1320 are joinedH1692 togetherH1692, FirmH3332 on him and immovableH1077H4131.24His heartH3820 is as hardH3332 as a stoneH68, Even as hardH3332 as a lowerH8482 millstoneH6400.25WhenH4480 he raisesH7613 himself up, the 15mightyH410 fearH1481; BecauseH4480 of the crashingH7667 they are bewilderedH2398.26The swordH2719 that reachesH5381 him cannotH1097 availH6965, NorH1097 the spearH2595, the dartH4551 or the javelinH8301.
