Job 41:12-22

12“I want to emphasize Leviathan’s limbs and its enormous strength and graceful form.

13Who can strip off its hide, and who can penetrate its double layer of armor?

14Who could pry open its jaws? For its teeth are terrible!

15The scales on its back are like rows of shields tightly sealed together.

16They are so close together that no air can get between them.

17Each scale sticks tight to the next. They interlock and cannot be penetrated.

18“When it sneezes, it flashes light! Its eyes are like the red of dawn.

19Lightning leaps from its mouth; flames of fire flash out.

20Smoke streams from its nostrils like steam from a pot heated over burning rushes.

21Its breath would kindle coals, for flames shoot from its mouth.

22“The tremendous strength in Leviathan’s neck strikes terror wherever it goes.
