Job 41 (KJV)
- 1
Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? Or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down?
- 2
Canst thou put an hook into his nose? Or bore his jaw through with a thorn?
- 3
Will he make many supplications unto thee? Will he speak soft words unto thee?
- 4
Will he make a covenant with thee? Wilt thou take him for a servant for ever?
- 5
Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? Or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?
- 6
Shall the companions make a banquet of him? Shall they part him among the merchants?
- 7
Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? Or his head with fish spears?
- 8
Lay thine hand upon him, Remember the battle, do no more.
- 9
Behold, the hope of him is in vain: Shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him?
- 10
None is so fierce that dare stir him up: Who then is able to stand before me?
- 11
Who hath prevented me, that I should repay him? Whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine.
- 12
I will not conceal his parts, Nor his power, nor his comely proportion.
- 13
Who can discover the face of his garment? Or who can come to him with his double bridle?
- 14
Who can open the doors of his face? His teeth are terrible round about.
- 15
His scales are his pride, Shut up together as with a close seal.
- 16
One is so near to another, That no air can come between them.
- 17
They are joined one to another, They stick together, that they cannot be sundered.
- 18
By his neesings a light doth shine, And his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.
- 19
Out of his mouth go burning lamps, And sparks of fire leap out.
- 20
Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, As out of a seething pot or caldron.
- 21
His breath kindleth coals, And a flame goeth out of his mouth.
- 22
In his neck remaineth strength, And sorrow is turned into joy before him.
- 23
The flakes of his flesh are joined together: They are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved.
- 24
His heart is as firm as a stone; Yea, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone .
- 25
When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid: By reason of breakings they purify themselves.
- 26
The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: The spear, the dart, nor the habergeon.
- 27
He esteemeth iron as straw, And brass as rotten wood.
- 28
The arrow cannot make him flee: Slingstones are turned with him into stubble.
- 29
Darts are counted as stubble: He laugheth at the shaking of a spear.
- 30
Sharp stones are under him: He spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire.
- 31
He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: He maketh the sea like a pot of ointment.
- 32
He maketh a path to shine after him; One would think the deep to be hoary.
- 33
Upon earth there is not his like, Who is made without fear.
- 34
He beholdeth all high things: He is a king over all the children of pride.
