Job 41
I will not stir him up, like one that is cruel : for
who can resist my countenance?
Who hath given me before that I should repay him? All
things that are under heaven are mine.
I will not spare him, nor his mighty words, and framed
to make supplication.
Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can
go into the midst of his mouth?
Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible
round about.
His body is like molten shields, shut close up with
scales pressing upon one another.
One is joined to another, and not so much as any air
can come between them :
They stick one to another and they hold one another
fast, and shall not be separated.
His sneezing is like the shining of fire, and his eyes
like the eyelids of the morning.
Out of his mouth go forth lamps, like torches of lighted
fire.
Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, like that of a pot
heated and boiling.
His breath kindleth coals, and a flame cometh forth
out of his mouth.
In his neck strength shall dwell, and want goeth before
his face.
The members of his flesh cleave one to another : he
shall send lightnings against him, and they shall not
be carried to another place.
His heart shall be as hard as a stone, and as firm as
a smith's anvil.
When he shall raise him up, the angels shall fear, and
being affrighted shall purify themselves.
When a sword shall lay at him, it shall not be able
to hold, nor a spear, nor a breastplate.
For he shall esteem iron as straw, and brass as rotten
wood.
The archer shall not put him to flight, the stones of
the sling are to him like stubble.
As stubble will he esteem the hammer, and he will laugh
him to scorn who shaketh the spear.
The beams of the sun shall be under him, and he shall
strew gold under him like mire.
He shall make the deep sea to boil like a pot, and shall
make it as when ointments boil.
A path shall shine after him, he shall esteem the deep
as growing old.
There is no power upon earth that can be compared with
him who was made to fear no one.
He beholdeth every high thing, he is king over all the
children of pride.
