# Job 41 [[Job 40|←]] • [[Job 42|→]] --- ### 1 Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord 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 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 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 be cast down even at the sight of him? ### 10 None fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to stand before me? ### 11 Who hath prevented me, that I should repay 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? who can come with his double bridle? ### 14 Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth terrible round about. ### 15 scales pride, shut up together 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 like the eyelids of the morning. ### 19 Out of his mouth go burning lamps, sparks of fire leap out. ### 20 Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as 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 ### 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, 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 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; would think the deep hoary. ### 33 Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear. ### 34 He beholdeth all high he a king over all the children of pride.
