The Book of Job (WEB)
41: 1"Can you draw out Leviathan with a fishhook?
Or press down his tongue with a cord?
41:2Can you put a rope into his nose?
Or pierce his jaw through with a hook?
41:3Will he make many petitions to you?
Or will he speak soft words to you?
41:4Will he make a covenant with you,
That you should take him for a servant forever?
41:5Will you play with him as with a bird?
Or will you bind him for your girls?
41:6Will traders barter for him?
Will they part him among the merchants?
41:7Can you fill his skin with barbed irons,
Or his head with fish-spears?
41:8Lay your hand on him.
Remember the battle, and do so no more.
41:9Behold, the hope of him is in vain.
Will not one be cast down even at the sight of him?
41:10None is so fierce that he dare stir him up.
Who then is he who can stand before me?
41:11Who has first given to me, that I should repay him?
Everything under the heavens is mine.
41:12"I will not keep silence concerning his limbs,
Nor his mighty strength, nor his goodly frame.
41:13Who can strip off his outer garment?
Who shall come within his jaws?
41:14Who can open the doors of his face?
Around his teeth is terror.
41:15Strong scales are his pride,
Shut up together with a close seal.
41:16One is so near to another,
That no air can come between them.
41:17They are joined one to another;
They stick together, so that they can't be pulled apart.
41:18His sneezing flashes forth light,
His eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.
41:19Out of his mouth go burning torches,
Sparks of fire leap forth.
41:20Out of his nostrils a smoke goes,
As of a boiling pot over a fire of reeds.
41:21His breath kindles coals.
A flame goes forth from his mouth.
41:22In his neck there is strength.
Terror dances before him.
41:23The flakes of his flesh are joined together.
They are firm on him. They can't be moved.
41:24His heart is as firm as a stone,
Yes, firm as the lower millstone.
41:25When he raises himself up, the mighty are afraid.
They retreat before his thrashing.
41:26If one lay at him with the sword, it can't avail;
Nor the spear, the dart, nor the pointed shaft.
41:27He counts iron as straw;
And brass as rotten wood.
41:28The arrow can't make him flee.
Sling stones are like chaff to him.
41:29Clubs are counted as stubble.
He laughs at the rushing of the javelin.
41:30His undersides are like sharp potsherds,
Leaving a trail in the mud like a threshing sledge.
41:31He makes the deep to boil like a pot.
He makes the sea like a pot of ointment.
41:32He makes a path to shine after him.
One would think the deep had white hair.
41:33On earth there is not his equal,
That is made without fear.
41:34He sees everything that is high:
He is king over all the sons of pride."
