Job 41

1 Whether thou shalt be able to draw out Leviathan with an hook, and shalt bind with a rope his tongue?⋮

2 Whether thou shalt put a ring in his nostrils, either shalt pierce his cheekbone with an hook?⋮

3 Whether he shall multiply prayers to thee, either shall speak soft things to thee?⋮

4 Whether he shall make a covenant with thee, and shalt thou take him for a servant everlasting?⋮

5 Whether thou shalt scorn him as a bird, either shalt thou bind him to thine handmaidens?⋮

6 Shall friends carve him, shall merchants part him?⋮

7 Whether thou shalt fill nets with his skin, and a fish basket with his head?⋮

8 Shalt thou put thine hand upon him? have thou mind of the battle, and add thou no more to speak.⋮

9 Lo! his hope shall deceive him; and in the sight of all men he shall be cast down.⋮

10 I not as cruel shall raise him; for who may against-stand my face?⋮

11 And who gave to me before, that I yield to him? All things, that be under heaven, be mine.⋮

12 I shall not spare him for his mighty words, and made fair to beseech with.⋮

13 Who shall show the face of his clothing, and who shall enter into the midst of his mouth?⋮

14 Who shall open the gates of his cheer? fearedfulness is by the compass of his teeth.⋮

15 His body is as molten shields of brass, and joined together with scales overlaying themselves.⋮

16 One is joined to another; and soothly breathing goeth not through those or them.⋮

17 One shall cleave to another, and those pieces holding together them-selves shall not be parted.⋮

18 His sneezing or snorting is as shining of fire, and his eyes be as eyelids of the morrowtide.⋮

19 Lights come forth of his mouth, as brands of fire, that be kindled.⋮

20 Smoke cometh forth of his nostrils, as a boiling pot set upon the fire.⋮

21 His breath maketh coals to burn, and flame goeth out of his mouth.⋮

22 Strength shall dwell in his neck, and neediness shall go away from before his face.⋮

23 The members of his flesh be cleaving together to themselves; God shall send floods against him, and those or they shall not be borne over to another place.⋮

24 His heart shall be made hard as a stone; and it shall be constrained together as the anvil of a smith.⋮

25 When he shall be taken away, angels shall dread; and they afeared shall be purged.⋮

26 When sword taketh him, it may not stand, neither spear, neither habergeon.⋮

27 For he shall areckon iron as chaff, and brass as rotten wood.⋮

28 A man archer shall not drive him away; the stones of a sling be turned into stubble to him.⋮

29 He shall areckon an hammer as stubble; and he shall scorn a flourishing spear.⋮

30 The beams of the sun shall be under him; and he shall strew to him-self gold as clay.⋮

31 He shall make the deep sea to boil as a pot; and he shall put it, as when ointments boil.⋮

32 A path shall shine after him; he shall guess the great ocean as waxing eld or old.⋮

33 No power there is on earth, that shall be comparisoned to him; which is made, that he should dread nothing.⋮

34 He seeth all high things; he is king over all the sons of pride.⋮
