Job 41:12-22

12I will not concealH2790 his partsH907, nor his powerH1697H1369, nor his comelyH2433 proportionH6187.

13Who can discoverH1540 the faceH6440 of his garmentH3830? or who can comeH935 to him with his doubleH3718 bridleH7448?1

14Who can openH6605 the doorsH1817 of his faceH6440? his teethH8127 are terribleH367 round aboutH5439.

15His scalesH650H4043 are his prideH1346, shut up togetherH5462 as with a closeH6862 sealH2368.2

16OneH259 is so nearH5066 to anotherH259, that no airH7307 can comeH935 between them.

17They are joinedH1692 oneH376 to anotherH251, they stick togetherH3920, that they cannot be sunderedH6504.

18By his neesingsH5846 a lightH216 doth shineH1984, and his eyesH5869 are like the eyelidsH6079 of the morningH7837.

19Out of his mouthH6310 goH1980 burning lampsH3940, and sparksH3590 of fireH784 leap outH4422.

20Out of his nostrilsH5156 goethH3318 smokeH6227, as out of a seethingH5301 potH1731 or caldronH100.

21His breathH5315 kindlethH3857 coalsH1513, and a flameH3851 goeth outH3318 of his mouthH6310.

22In his neckH6677 remainethH3885 strengthH5797, and sorrowH1670 dancethH1750 beforeH6440 him.3
