Job
1
Canst thou draw out[H4900] leviathan[H3882] with an hook?[H2443] or his tongue[H3956] with a cord[H2256] which thou lettest down?[H8257]
2
Canst thou put[H7760] an hook[H100] into his nose?[H639] or bore[H5344] his jaw[H3895] through with a thorn?[H2336]
3
Will he make many[H7235] supplications[H8469] unto thee? will he speak[H1696] soft[H7390] words unto thee?
4
Will he make[H3772] a covenant[H1285] with thee? wilt thou take[H3947] him for a servant[H5650] for ever?[H5769]
5
Wilt thou play[H7832] with him as with a bird?[H6833] or wilt thou bind[H7194] him for thy maidens?[H5291]
6
Shall the companions[H2271] make a banquet[H3739] of him? shall they part[H2673] him among the merchants?[H3669]
7
Canst thou fill[H4390] his skin[H5785] with barbed irons?[H7905] or his head[H7218] with fish[H1709] spears?[H6767]
8
Lay[H7760] thine hand[H3709] upon him, remember[H2142] the battle[H4421], do no more[H3254].
9
Behold, the hope[H8431] of him is in vain[H3576]: shall not one be cast down[H2904] even at the sight[H4758] of him?
10
None is so fierce[H393] that dare stir him up[H5782]: who then is able to stand[H3320] before[H6440] me?
11
Who hath prevented[H6923] me, that I should repay[H7999] him? whatsoever is under the whole heaven[H8064] is mine.
12
I will not conceal[H2790] his parts[H907], nor his power[H1369], nor his comely[H2433] proportion[H6187].
13
Who can discover[H1540] the face[H6440] of his garment?[H3830] or who can come[H935] to him with his double[H3718] bridle?[H7448]
14
Who can open[H6605] the doors[H1817] of his face?[H6440] his teeth[H8127] are terrible[H367] round about[H5439].
15
His scales[H4043] are his pride[H1346], shut up together[H5462] as with a close[H6862] seal[H2368].
16
One[H259] is so near[H5066] to another[H259], that no air[H7307] can come[H935] between them.
17
They are joined[H1692] one[H376] to another[H251], they stick together[H3920], that they cannot be sundered[H6504].
18
By his neesings[H5846] a light[H216] doth shine[H1984], and his eyes[H5869] are like the eyelids[H6079] of the morning[H7837].
19
Out[H4422] of his mouth[H6310] go[H1980] burning lamps[H3940], and sparks[H3590] of fire[H784] leap out[H4422].
20
Out of his nostrils[H5156] goeth[H3318] smoke[H6227], as out of a seething[H5301] pot[H1731] or caldron[H100].
21
His breath[H5315] kindleth[H3857] coals[H1513], and a flame[H3851] goeth out[H3318] of his mouth[H6310].
22
In his neck[H6677] remaineth[H3885] strength[H5797], and sorrow[H1670] is turned into joy[H1750] before[H6440] him.
23
The flakes[H4651] of his flesh[H1320] are joined together[H1692]: they are firm[H3332] in themselves; they cannot be moved[H4131].
24
His heart[H3820] is as firm[H3332] as a stone[H68]; yea, as hard[H3332] as a piece[H6400] of the nether[H8482] millstone.
25
When he raiseth up[H7613] himself, the mighty[H352] are afraid[H1481]: by reason of breakings[H7667] they purify[H2398] themselves.
26
The sword[H2719] of him that layeth[H5381] at him cannot hold[H6965]: the spear[H2595], the dart[H4551], nor the habergeon[H8302].
27
He esteemeth[H2803] iron[H1270] as straw[H8401], and brass[H5154] as rotten[H7539] wood[H6086].
28
The arrow[H1121] cannot make him flee[H1272]: slingstones[H68] are turned[H2015] with him into stubble[H7179].
29
Darts[H8455] are counted[H2803] as stubble[H7179]: he laugheth[H7832] at the shaking[H7494] of a spear[H3591].
30
Sharp[H2303] stones[H2789] are under him: he spreadeth[H7502] sharp[H2303] pointed things[H2742] upon the mire[H2916].
31
He maketh[H7760] the deep[H4688] to boil[H7570] like a pot[H5518]: he maketh[H7760] the sea[H3220] like a pot[H5518] of ointment[H4841].
32
He maketh a path[H5410] to shine[H215] after[H310] him; one would think[H2803] the deep[H8415] to be hoary[H7872].
33
Upon earth[H6083] there is not his like[H4915], who is made[H6213] without[H1097] fear[H2844].
34
He beholdeth[H7200] all high[H1364] things: he is a king[H4428] over all the children[H1121] of pride[H7830].
