== Iyov (Book of Job), Chapter 41 ==

<named id="1"/>25 Canst thou draw out leviathan with a fish-hook? or press down his tongue with a cord?

<named id="2"/>26 Canst thou put a ring into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a hook?

<named id="3"/>27 Will he make many supplications unto thee? or will he speak soft words unto thee?

<named id="4"/>28 Will he make a covenant with thee, that thou shouldest take him for a servant for ever?

<named id="5"/>29 Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? Or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?

<named id="6"/>30 Will the bands of fishermen make a banquet of him? Will they part him among the merchants?

<named id="7"/>31 Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish-spears?

<named id="8"/>32 Lay thy hand upon him; think upon the battle, thou wilt do so no more.

<named id="9"/>1 Behold, the hope of him is in vain; shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him?

<named id="10"/>2 None is so fierce that dare stir him up; who then is able to stand before Me?

<named id="11"/>3 Who hath given Me anything beforehand, that I should repay him? Whatsoever is under the whole heaven is Mine.

<named id="12"/>4 Would I keep silence concerning his boastings, or his proud talk, or his fair array of words?

<named id="13"/>5 Who can uncover the face of his garment? Who shall come within his double bridle?

<named id="14"/>6 Who can open the doors of his face? Round about his teeth is terror.

<named id="15"/>7 His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal.

<named id="16"/>8 One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.

<named id="17"/>9 They are joined one to another; they stick together, that they cannot be sundered.

<named id="18"/>10 His sneezings flash forth light, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.

<named id="19"/>11 Out of his mouth go burning torches, and sparks of fire leap forth.

<named id="20"/>12 Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot and burning rushes.

<named id="21"/>13 His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.

<named id="22"/>14 In his neck abideth strength, and dismay danceth before him.

<named id="23"/>15 The flakes of his flesh are joined together; they are firm upon him; they cannot be moved.

<named id="24"/>16 His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, firm as the nether millstone.

<named id="25"/>17 When he raiseth himself up, the mighty are afraid; by reason of despair they are beside themselves.

<named id="26"/>18 If one lay at him with the sword, it will not hold; nor the spear, the dart, nor the pointed shaft.

<named id="27"/>19 He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.

<named id="28"/>20 The arrow cannot make him flee; slingstones are turned with him into stubble.

<named id="29"/>21 Clubs are accounted as stubble; he laugheth at the rattling of the javelin.

<named id="30"/>22 Sharpest potsherds are under him; he spreadeth a threshing-sledge upon the mire.

<named id="31"/>23 He maketh the deep to boil like a pot; he maketh the sea like a seething mixture.

<named id="32"/>24 He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary.

<named id="33"/>25 Upon earth there is not his like, who is made to be fearless.

<named id="34"/>26 He looketh at all high things; he is king over all the proud beasts.
