Job 41

[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] [26] [27] [28] [29] [30] [31] [32] [33] [34] [35] [36] [37] [38] [39] [40] [41] [42]

41:1 I will not stir him up, like one that is cruel : for who can resist my countenance?

41:2 Who hath given me before that I should repay him? All things that are under heaven are mine.

41:3 I will not spare him, nor his mighty words, and framed to make supplication.

41:4 Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can go into the midst of his mouth?

41:5 Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about.

41:6 His body is like molten shields, shut close up with scales pressing upon one another.

41:7 One is joined to another, and not so much as any air can come between them :

41:8 They stick one to another and they hold one another fast, and shall not be separated.

41:9 His sneezing is like the shining of fire, and his eyes like the eyelids of the morning.

41:10 Out of his mouth go forth lamps, like torches of lighted fire.

41:11 Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, like that of a pot heated and boiling.

41:12 His breath kindleth coals, and a flame cometh forth out of his mouth.

41:13 In his neck strength shall dwell, and want goeth before his face.

41:14 The members of his flesh cleave one to another : he shall send lightnings against him, and they shall not be carried to another place.

41:15 His heart shall be as hard as a stone, and as firm as a smith's anvil.

41:16 When he shall raise him up, the angels shall fear, and being affrighted shall purify themselves.

41:17 When a sword shall lay at him, it shall not be able to hold, nor a spear, nor a breastplate.

41:18 For he shall esteem iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.

41:19 The archer shall not put him to flight, the stones of the sling are to him like stubble.

41:20 As stubble will he esteem the hammer, and he will laugh him to scorn who shaketh the spear.

41:21 The beams of the sun shall be under him, and he shall strew gold under him like mire.

41:22 He shall make the deep sea to boil like a pot, and shall make it as when ointments boil.

41:23 A path shall shine after him, he shall esteem the deep as growing old.

41:24 There is no power upon earth that can be compared with him who was made to fear no one.

41:25 He beholdeth every high thing, he is king over all the children of pride.
