Job 41:12-22

12I will not keep silent about its limbs, and the extent of its might, and the grace of its arrangement.

13Who can uncover its outer covering? Who can penetrate to the inside of its armor?

14Who can open the doors of its mouth? Its teeth all around are fearsome.

15Its back has rows of shields, shut up closely together as with a seal;

16each one is so close to the next that no air can come between them.

17They lock tightly together, one to the next; they cling together and cannot be separated.

18Its snorting throws out flashes of light; its eyes are like the red glow of dawn.

19Out of its mouth go flames, sparks of fire shoot forth!

20Smoke streams from its nostrils as from a boiling pot over burning rushes.

21Its breath sets coals ablaze and a flame shoots from its mouth.

22Strength lodges in its neck, and despair runs before it.
