| Job 41: (YLT) |
| 1) Dost thou draw leviathan with an angle? And with a rope thou lettest down -- his tongue? |
| 2) Dost thou put a reed in his nose? And with a thorn pierce his jaw? |
| 3) Doth he multiply unto thee supplications? Doth he speak unto thee tender things? |
| 4) Doth he make a covenant with thee? Dost thou take him for a servant age-during? |
| 5) Dost thou play with him as a bird? And dost thou bind him for thy damsels? |
| 6) (Feast upon him do companions, They divide him among the merchants!) |
| 7) Dost thou fill with barbed irons his skin? And with fish-spears his head? |
| 8) Place on him thy hand, Remember the battle -- do not add! |
| 9) Lo, the hope of him is found a liar, Also at his appearance is not one cast down? |
| 10) None so fierce that he doth awake him, And who [is] he before Me stationeth himself? |
| 11) Who hath brought before Me and I repay? Under the whole heavens it [is] mine. |
| 12) I do not keep silent concerning his parts, And the matter of might, And the grace of his arrangement. |
| 13) Who hath uncovered the face of his clothing? Within his double bridle who doth enter? |
| 14) The doors of his face who hath opened? Round about his teeth [are] terrible. |
| 15) A pride -- strong ones of shields, Shut up -- a close seal. |
| 16) One unto another they draw nigh, And air doth not enter between them. |
| 17) One unto another they adhere, They stick together and are not separated. |
| 18) His sneezings cause light to shine, And his eyes [are] as the eyelids of the dawn. |
| 19) Out of his mouth do flames go, sparks of fire escape. |
| 20) Out of his nostrils goeth forth smoke, As a blown pot and reeds. |
| 21) His breath setteth coals on fire, And a flame from his mouth goeth forth. |
| 22) In his neck lodge doth strength, And before him doth grief exult. |
| 23) The flakes of his flesh have adhered -- Firm upon him -- it is not moved. |
| 24) His heart [is] firm as a stone, Yea, firm as the lower piece. |
| 25) From his rising are the mighty afraid, From breakings they keep themselves free. |
| 26) The sword of his overtaker standeth not, Spear -- dart -- and lance. |
| 27) He reckoneth iron as straw, brass as rotten wood. |
| 28) The son of the bow doth not cause him to flee, Turned by him into stubble are stones of the sling. |
| 29) As stubble have darts been reckoned, And he laugheth at the shaking of a javelin. |
| 30) Under him [are] sharp points of clay, He spreadeth gold on the mire. |
| 31) He causeth to boil as a pot the deep, The sea he maketh as a pot of ointment. |
| 32) After him he causeth a path to shine, One thinketh the deep to be hoary. |
| 33) There is not on the earth his like, That is made without terror. |
| 34) Every high thing he doth see, He [is] king over all sons of pride. |
