Job 41:21
chevron_left
chevron_right
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.
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.
