Job 41

Revised Version 1895

1Canst thou draw outH2904 leviathan with a fish hook? or press down his tongue with a cord? 2Canst thou put a rope into his nose? or pierce his jaw throughH3588 with a hook? 3Will he make many supplications unto thee? or will he speak soft words unto thee? 4Will he make a covenant with thee, that thou shouldest take him for a servant for ever? 5Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens? 6Shall the bands of fishermen make traffic of him? shall they part him among the merchants? 7Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons, or his head with fish spears? 8Lay thine hand uponH935 him; remember the battle, and doH935 soH3808 noH3808 moreH3808. 9BeholdH3808, the hope of him is in vain: shall notH3808 one be cast down evenH3808 at the sight of him? 10None is so fierce that he dare stir him up: who then is he that canH5869 stand beforeH5869 meH5869? 11Who hath first given unto meH1980, that I should repay him? whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine. 12I will not keep silence concerning his limbs, nor his mighty strength, nor his comely proportion. 13Who can strip offH3318 his outer garment? who shall comeH3318 within his double bridle? 14Who can openH6440 the doors of his faceH6440? round about his teeth is terror. 15His strongH4651 scales are his pride, shut upH5921 togetherH5921 as with a closeH1692 seal. 16One is soH3644 near to anotherH68, that no air can come between them. 17They are joined one to another; they stick together, that they cannot be sundered. 18His neesings flash forth light, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning. 19Out of his mouth go burning torches, and sparks of fire leap forth. 20Out of his nostrils a smoke goeth, as of a seething pot and burning rushes. 21His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth forth from his mouth. 22In his neck abideth strength, and terror danceth beforeH5921 him. 23The flakes of his flesh are joined togetherH3220: they are firm uponH7760 him; they cannot be moved. 24His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, firm as the nether millstone. 25When he raiseth himself upH5921, the mighty are afraid: by reasonH5921 of consternation they are besideH5921 themselvesH5921. 26IfH7200 one layH1121 at him with the sword, it cannot avail; nor the spear, the dart, nor the pointed shaft. 27He counteth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood. 28The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him into stubble. 29Clubs are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the rushing of the javelin. 30His underparts are like sharp potsherds: he spreadeth as it were a threshing wain upon the mire. 31He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like ointment. 32He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary. 33Upon earth there is not his like, that is made without fear. 34He beholdeth every thing that is high: he is king over all the sons of pride.
