Job Chapter 41 (KJV)

KJV ESV NIV NASB NLT

undefined Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down?

undefined Canst thou put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn?

undefined Will he make many supplications unto thee? will he speak soft words unto thee?

undefined Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a servant for ever?

undefined Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?

undefined Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants?

undefined Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears?

undefined Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more.

undefined Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him?

undefined None is so fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to stand before me?

undefined Who hath prevented me, that I should repay him? whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine.

undefined I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion.

undefined Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can come to him with his double bridle?

undefined Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about.

undefined His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal.

undefined One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.

undefined They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered.

undefined By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.

undefined Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out.

undefined Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron.

undefined His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.

undefined In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him.

undefined The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved.

undefined His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone.

undefined When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify themselves.

undefined The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon.

undefined He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.

undefined The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him into stubble.

undefined Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a spear.

undefined Sharp stones are under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire.

undefined He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment.

undefined He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary.

undefined Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear.

undefined He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.
