Job 41 — KJV

41 Verse 1 Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down? ^{Verse 2} Canst thou put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn? ^{Verse 3} Will he make many supplications unto thee? will he speak soft words unto thee? ^{Verse 4} Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a servant for ever? ^{Verse 5} Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens? ^{Verse 6} Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants? ^{Verse 7} Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears? ^{Verse 8} Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more. ^{Verse 9} Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him? ^{Verse 10} None is so fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to stand before me? ^{Verse 11} Who hath prevented me, that I should repay him? whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine. ^{Verse 12} I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion. ^{Verse 13} Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can come to him with his double bridle? ^{Verse 14} Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about. ^{Verse 15} His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal. ^{Verse 16} One is so near to another, that no air can come between them. ^{Verse 17} They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered. ^{Verse 18} By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning. ^{Verse 19} Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out. ^{Verse 20} Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron. ^{Verse 21} His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth. ^{Verse 22} In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him. ^{Verse 23} The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved. ^{Verse 24} His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone. ^{Verse 25} When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify themselves. ^{Verse 26} The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon. ^{Verse 27} He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood. ^{Verse 28} The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him into stubble. ^{Verse 29} Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a spear. ^{Verse 30} Sharp stones are under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire. ^{Verse 31} He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment. ^{Verse 32} He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary. ^{Verse 33} Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear. ^{Verse 34} He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.
