Job 41

¹Can you catch Leviathan with a fishhook or tie his tongue down with a rope?

²Can you put a rope through his snout or put a hook through his jaws?

³Will he beg you to let him go? Will he plead with you for mercy?

⁴Will he make an agreement with you and promise to serve you forever?

⁵Will you tie him like a pet bird, like something to amuse your servant women?

⁶Will fishermen bargain over him? Will merchants cut him up to sell?

⁷Can you fill his hide with fishing spears or pierce his head with a harpoon?

⁸Touch him once and you'll never try it again; you'll never forget the fight!

⁹Anyone who sees Leviathan loses courage and falls to the ground.

¹⁰When he is aroused, he is fierce; no one would dare to stand before him.

¹¹Who can attack him and still be safe? No one in all the world can do it.

¹²Let me tell you about Leviathan's legs and describe how great and strong he is.

¹³No one can tear off his outer coat or pierce the armor he wears.

¹⁴Who can make him open his jaws, ringed with those terrifying teeth?

¹⁵His back is made of rows of shields, fastened together and hard as stone.

¹⁶Each one is joined so tight to the next, not even a breath can come between.

¹⁷They all are fastened so firmly together that nothing can ever pull them apart.

¹⁸Light flashes when he sneezes, and his eyes glow like the rising sun.

¹⁹Flames blaze from his mouth, and streams of sparks fly out.

²⁰Smoke comes pouring out of his nose, like smoke from weeds burning under a pot.

²¹His breath starts fires burning; flames leap out of his mouth.

²²His neck is so powerful that all who meet him are terrified.

²³There is not a weak spot in his skin; it is as hard and unyielding as iron.

²⁴His stony heart is without fear, as unyielding and hard as a millstone.

²⁵When he rises up, even the strongest are frightened; they are helpless with fear.

²⁶There is no sword that can wound him; no spear or arrow or lance that can harm him.

²⁷For him iron is as flimsy as straw, and bronze as soft as rotten wood.

²⁸There is no arrow that can make him run; rocks thrown at him are like bits of straw.

²⁹To him a club is a piece of straw, and he laughs when men throw spears.

³⁰The scales on his belly are like jagged pieces of pottery; they tear up the muddy ground like a threshing sledge.

³¹He churns up the sea like boiling water and makes it bubble like a pot of oil.

³²He leaves a shining path behind him and turns the sea to white foam.

³³There is nothing on earth to compare with him; he is a creature that has no fear.

³⁴He looks down on even the proudest animals; he is king of all wild beasts.
