Job 41

Job 41:1 Can you pull in Leviathan with a hook or tie his tongue down with a rope?

Job 41:2 Can you put a cord through his nose or pierce his jaw with a hook?

Job 41:3 Will he beg you for mercy or speak softly to you?

Job 41:4 Will he make a covenant with you so that you can take him as a slave forever?

Job 41:5 Can you play with him like a bird or put him on a leash for your girls?

Job 41:6 Will traders bargain for him or divide him among the merchants?

Job 41:7 Can you fill his hide with harpoons or his head with fishing spears?

Job 41:8 Lay a hand on him. You will remember the battle and never repeat it!

Job 41:9 Any hope of capturing him proves false. Does a person not collapse at the very sight of him?

Job 41:10 No one is ferocious enough to rouse Leviathan; who then can stand against me?

Job 41:11 Who confronted me, that I should repay him? Everything under the sky belongs to me.

Job 41:12 I cannot be silent about his limbs, his power, and his graceful proportions.

Job 41:13 Who can strip off his outer covering? Who can penetrate his double layer of armor?

Job 41:14 Who can open his jaws, surrounded by those terrifying teeth?

Job 41:15 His pride is in his rows of scales, closely sealed together.

Job 41:16 One scale is so close to another that no air can pass between them.

Job 41:17 They are joined to one another, so closely connected they cannot be separated.

Job 41:18 His snorting flashes with light, while his eyes are like the rays of dawn.

Job 41:19 Flaming torches shoot from his mouth; fiery sparks fly out!

Job 41:20 Smoke billows from his nostrils as from a boiling pot or burning reeds.

Job 41:21 His throat sets coals ablaze, and flames pour out of his mouth.

Job 41:22 Strength resides in his neck, and dismay dances before him.

Job 41:23 The folds of his flesh are joined together, solid as metal and immovable.

Job 41:24 His heart is as hard as a rock, as hard as a lower millstone!

Job 41:25 When Leviathan rises, the mighty are terrified; they withdraw because of his thrashing.

Job 41:26 The sword that reaches him will have no effect, nor will a spear, dart, or arrow.

Job 41:27 He regards iron as straw, and bronze as rotten wood.

Job 41:28 No arrow can make him flee; slingstones become like stubble to him.

Job 41:29 A club is regarded as stubble, and he laughs at the sound of a javelin.

Job 41:30 His undersides are jagged potsherds, spreading the mud like a threshing sledge.

Job 41:31 He makes the depths seethe like a cauldron; he makes the sea like an ointment jar.

Job 41:32 He leaves a shining wake behind him; one would think the deep had gray hair!

Job 41:33 He has no equal on the land– a creature devoid of fear!

Job 41:34 He surveys everything that is haughty; he is king over all the proud beasts.
