Job 41 — Scripture text (King James Version)
Canst thou draw out4900 3882 with an hook2443? or his tongue3956 with a cord2256 which thou lettest down8257? : That is, a whale or a whirlepoole which: Heb. which thou drownest? Canst thou 7760 an hook100 into his nose639? or bore5344 his jaw3895 through with a thorn2336? Will he make many7235 supplications8469 unto thee? will he speak1696 soft7390 words unto thee? Will he make3772 a 1285 with thee? wilt thou take3947 him for a servant5650 for ever5769? Wilt thou play7832 with him as with a bird6833? or wilt thou bind7194 him for thy maidens5291? Shall the companions2271 make a banquet3739 of him? shall they part2673 him among the merchants3669? Canst thou fill4390 his skin5785 with barbed irons7905? or his head7218 with 1709 spears6767? Lay7760 thine hand3709 upon him, remember2142 the battle4421, do no more3254. Behold, the hope8431 of him is in vain3576: shall not one be cast down2904 even at the sight4758 of him? None is so fierce393 that dare stir him up5782 5782: who then is able to stand3320 before6440 me? Who hath prevented6923 me, that I should repay7999 him? whatsoever is under the whole heaven8064 is mine. I will not conceal2790 his parts907, nor his power1369 1697, nor his comely2433 proportion6187. Who can discover1540 the face6440 of his garment3830? or who can come935 to him with his double3718 bridle7448? with: or, within Who can open6605 the doors1817 of his face6440? his teeth8127 are terrible367 round about5439. His scales4043 650 are his pride1346, shut up together5462 as with a close6862 2368. scales: Heb. strong pieces of shields One259 is so near5066 to another259, that no air7307 can come935 between them. They are joined1692 one376 to another251, they stick together3920, that they cannot be sundered6504. By his neesings5846 a light216 doth shine1984, and his eyes5869 are like the eyelids6079 of the morning7837. Out of his mouth6310 go1980 burning lamps3940, and sparks3590 of fire784 leap out4422. Out of his nostrils5156 goeth3318 smoke6227, as out of a seething5301 pot1731 or caldron100. His breath5315 kindleth3857 coals1513, and a flame3851 goeth out3318 of his mouth6310. In his neck6677 remaineth3885 strength5797, and sorrow1670 is turned into joy1750 before6440 him. is turned into joy: Heb. rejoiceth The flakes4651 of his flesh1320 are joined together1692: they are firm3332 in themselves; they cannot be moved4131. flakes: Heb. fallings His heart3820 is as firm3332 as a stone68; yea, as hard3332 as a piece6400 of the nether8482 . When he raiseth up7613 himself, the mighty352 are afraid1481: by reason of breakings7667 they purify2398 themselves. The 2719 of him that layeth5381 at him cannot hold6965: the 2595, the dart4551, nor the habergeon8302. habergeon: or, He esteemeth2803 iron1270 as straw8401, and brass5154 as rotten7539 wood6086. The arrow1121 7198 cannot make him flee1272: slingstones68 7050 are turned2015 with him into stubble7179. Darts8455 are counted2803 as stubble7179: he laugheth7832 at the shaking7494 of a 3591. Sharp2303 stones2789 are under him: he spreadeth7502 sharp pointed things2742 upon the mire2916. Sharp stones: Heb. Sharp pieces of potsherd He maketh the deep4688 to boil7570 like a pot5518: he maketh7760 the sea3220 like a pot of ointment4841. He maketh a path5410 to shine215 after310 him; one would think2803 the deep8415 to be hoary7872. Upon earth6083 there is not his like4915, who is made6213 without1097 fear2844. is made without fear: or, behave themselves without fear He beholdeth7200 all high1364 things: he is a king4428 over all the children1121 of pride7830.
