| Job 41: (KJV) |
| 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. |
| 21) 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. |
