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