Job

Chapter 41

New King James Version

1"Can you draw out Leviathan with a hook, Or [snare] his tongue with a line [which] you lower? 2Can you put a reed through his nose, Or pierce his jaw with a hook? 3Will he make many supplications to you? Will he speak softly to you? 4Will he make a covenant with you? Will you take him as a servant forever? 5Will you play with him as [with] a bird, Or will you leash him for your maidens? 6Will [your] companions make a banquet of him? Will they apportion him among the merchants? 7Can you fill his skin with harpoons, Or his head with fishing spears? 8Lay your hand on him; Remember the battle -- Never do it again! 9Indeed, [any] hope of [overcoming] him is false; Shall [one not] be overwhelmed at the sight of him? 10No one [is so] fierce that he would dare stir him up. Who then is able to stand against Me? 11Who has preceded Me, that I should pay [him?] Everything under heaven is Mine. 12"I will not conceal his limbs, His mighty power, or his graceful proportions. 13Who can remove his outer coat? Who can approach [him] with a double bridle? 14Who can open the doors of his face, [With] his terrible teeth all around? 15[His] rows of scales are [his] pride, Shut up tightly [as with] a seal; 16One is so near another That no air can come between them; 17They are joined one to another, They stick together and cannot be parted. 18His sneezings flash forth light, And his eyes [are] like the eyelids of the morning. 19Out of his mouth go burning lights; Sparks of fire shoot out. 20Smoke goes out of his nostrils, As [from] a boiling pot and burning rushes. 21His breath kindles coals, And a flame goes out of his mouth. 22Strength dwells in his neck, And sorrow dances before him. 23The folds of his flesh are joined together; They are firm on him and cannot be moved. 24His heart is as hard as stone, Even as hard as the lower [millstone.] 25When he raises himself up, the mighty are afraid; Because of his crashings they are beside themselves. 26[Though] the sword reaches him, it cannot avail; Nor does spear, dart, or javelin. 27He regards iron as straw, [And] bronze as rotten wood. 28The arrow cannot make him flee; Slingstones become like stubble to him. 29Darts are regarded as straw; He laughs at the threat of javelins. 30His undersides [are] like sharp potsherds; He spreads pointed [marks] in the mire. 31He makes the deep boil like a pot; He makes the sea like a pot of ointment. 32He leaves a shining wake behind him; [One] would think the deep had white hair. 33On earth there is nothing like him, Which is made without fear. 34He beholds every high [thing;] He [is] king over all the children of pride."
