Job 41
Revised Webster's Bible
1Canst thou draw outH4900 leviathanH3882 with an hookH2443? or his tongueH3956 with a cordH2256 which thou lettest downH8257?12 2Canst thou putH7760 an hookH100 into his noseH639? or boreH5344 his jawH3895 through with a thornH2336? 3Will he make manyH7235 supplicationsH8469 to thee? will he speakH1696 softH7390 words to thee? 4Will he makeH3772 a covenantH1285 with thee? wilt thou takeH3947 him for a servantH5650 for everH5769? 5Wilt thou playH7832 with him as with a birdH6833? or wilt thou bindH7194 him for thy maidensH5291? 6Shall the companionsH2271 make a banquetH3739 of him? shall they partH2673 him among the merchantsH3669? 7Canst thou fillH4390 his skinH5785 with barbed ironsH7905? or his headH7218 with fishH1709 spearsH6767? 8LayH7760 thy handH3709 upon him, rememberH2142 the battleH4421, do no moreH3254. 9Behold, the hopeH8431 of him is in vainH3576: shall not one be cast downH2904 even at the sightH4758 of him? 10None is so fierceH393 that he dare rouse himH5782: who then is able to standH3320 beforeH6440 me?
11Who hath given toH6923 me, that I should repayH7999 him? whatever is under the whole heavenH8064 is mine. 12I will not concealH2790 his partsH907, nor his powerH1369H1697, nor his comelyH2433 proportionH6187. 13Who can uncoverH1540 the faceH6440 of his garmentH3830? or who can comeH935 to him with his doubleH3718 bridleH7448?3 14Who can openH6605 the doorsH1817 of his faceH6440? AroundH5439 his teethH8127 there is terrorH367. 15His scalesH4043H650 are his prideH1346, shut togetherH5462 as with a closeH6862 sealH2368.4 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. 18His sneezesH5846 flashH1984 lightH216, and his eyesH5869 are like the eyelidsH6079 of the morningH7837. 19Out of his mouthH6310 goH1980 burning lampsH3940, and sparksH3590 of fireH784 dart forthH4422. 20Out of his nostrilsH5156 goethH3318 smokeH6227, as out of a boilingH5301 potH1731 or caldronH100. 21His breathH5315 kindlethH3857 coalsH1513, and a flameH3851 goeth outH3318 of his mouthH6310. 22In his neckH6677 remainethH3885 strengthH5797, and sorrowH1670 is turned into joyH1750 beforeH6440 him.5 23The flakesH4651 of his fleshH1320 are joined togetherH1692: they are firmH3332 in themselves; they cannot be movedH4131.6 24His heartH3820 is as firmH3332 as a stoneH68; yea, as hardH3332 as a pieceH6400 of the lowerH8482 millstone . 25When he raisethH7613 himself, the mightyH352 are afraidH1481: by reason of the crashingH7667 they purifyH2398 themselves. 26The swordH2719 of him that overtakethH5381 him cannot holdH6965: the spearH2595, the dartH4551, nor the javelinH8302.7 27He esteemethH2803 ironH1270 as strawH8401, and brassH5154 as rottenH7539 woodH6086. 28The arrowH1121H7198 cannot make him fleeH1272: slingstonesH68H7050 are turnedH2015 with him into stubbleH7179. 29DartsH8455 are countedH2803 as stubbleH7179: he laughethH7832 at the shakingH7494 of a spearH3591. 30SharpH2303 stonesH2789 are under him: he spreadethH7502 sharp pointed thingsH2742 upon the mireH2916.8 31He maketh the deepH4688 to boilH7570 like a potH5518: he makethH7760 the seaH3220 like a pot of ointmentH4841. 32He maketh a pathH5410 to shineH215 afterH310 him; one would thinkH2803 the deepH8415 to be hoaryH7872. 33Upon earthH6083 there is not his likeH4915, who is madeH6213 withoutH1097 fearH2844.9 34He beholdethH7200 all highH1364 things : he is a kingH4428 over all the childrenH1121 of prideH7830.
