Context of Job 41:14
12I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion. 13Who can uncover the face of his garment? or who can come to him with his double bridle? Who can open the doors of his face? Around his teeth there is terror. 15His scales are his pride, shut together as with a close seal. 16One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.
