Job 41:1 (NET) New English Translation

1 "Can you pull in Leviathan with a hook, and tie down its tongue with a rope?
2 Can you put a cord through its nose, or pierce its jaw with a hook?
3 Will it make numerous supplications to you, will it speak to you with tender words?
4 Will it make a pact with you, so you could take it as your slave for life?
5 Can you play with it, like a bird, or tie it on a leash for your girls?
6 Will partners bargain for it? Will they divide it up among the merchants?
7 Can you fill its hide with harpoons or its head with fishing spears?
8 If you lay your hand on it, you will remember the fight, and you will never do it again!
9 See, his expectation is wrong, he is laid low even at the sight of it.
10 Is it not fierce when it is awakened? Who is he, then, who can stand before it?
11 (Who has confronted me that I should repay? Everything under heaven belongs to me!)
12 I will not keep silent about its limbs, and the extent of its might, and the grace of its arrangement.
13 Who can uncover its outer covering? Who can penetrate to the inside of its armor?
14 Who can open the doors of its mouth? Its teeth all around are fearsome.
15 Its back has rows of shields, shut up closely together as with a seal;
16 each one is so close to the next that no air can come between them.
17 They lock tightly together, one to the next; they cling together and cannot be separated.
18 Its snorting throws out flashes of light; its eyes are like the red glow of dawn.
19 Out of its mouth go flames, sparks of fire shoot forth!
20 Smoke streams from its nostrils as from a boiling pot over burning rushes.
21 Its breath sets coals ablaze and a flame shoots from its mouth.
22 Strength lodges in its neck, and despair runs before it.
23 The folds of its flesh are tightly joined; they are firm on it, immovable.
24 Its heart is hard as rock, hard as a lower millstone.
25 When it rises up, the mighty are terrified, at its thrashing about they withdraw.
26 Whoever strikes it with a sword will have no effect, nor with the spear, arrow, or dart.
27 It regards iron as straw and bronze as rotten wood.
28 Arrows do not make it flee; slingstones become like chaff to it.
29 A club is counted as a piece of straw; it laughs at the rattling of the lance.
30 Its underparts are the sharp points of potsherds, it leaves its mark in the mud like a threshing sledge.
31 It makes the deep boil like a cauldron and stirs up the sea like a pot of ointment,
32 It leaves a glistening wake behind it; one would think the deep had a head of white hair.
33 The likes of it is not on earth, a creature without fear.
34 It looks on every haughty being; it is king over all that are proud."
1 Canst thou draw out H4900 leviathan H3882 with a hook H2443 ? or his tongue H3956 with a cord H2256 which thou lettest down H8257 ?
2 Canst thou put H7760 a hook H100 into his nose H639 ? or bore H5344 his jaw H3895 through with a thorn H2336 ?
3 Will he make many H7235 supplications H8469 unto H413 thee? will he speak H1696 soft H7390 words unto H413 thee?
4 Will he make H3772 a covenant H1285 with H5973 thee? wilt thou take H3947 him for a servant H5650 forever H5769 ?
5 Wilt thou play H7832 with him as with a bird H6833 ? or wilt thou bind H7194 him for thy maidens H5291 ?
6 Shall the companions H2271 make a banquet H3738 of H5921 him? shall they part H2673 him among H996 the merchants H3669 ?
7 Canst thou fill H4390 his skin H5785 with barbed irons H7905 ? or his head H7218 with fish H1709 spears H6767 ?
8 Lay H7760 thine hand H3709 upon H5921 him, remember H2142 the battle, H4421 do no H408 more. H3254
9 Behold H2005 , the hope H8431 of him is in vain: H3576 shall not one be cast down H2904 even H1571 at H413 the sight H4758 of him?
10 None H3808 is so fierce H393 that H3588 dare stir him up: H5782 who H4310 then is able to stand H3320 before H6440 me?
11 Who H4310 hath prevented H6923 me , that I should repay H7999 him? whatsoever is under H8478 the whole H3605 heaven H8064 is mine.
12 I will not H3808 conceal H2790 his parts, H905 nor H1697 his power, H1369 nor his comely H2433 proportion. H6187
13 Who H4310 can discover H1540 the face H6440 of his garment H3830 ? or who H4310 can come H935 to him with his double H3718 bridle H7448 ?
14 Who H4310 can open H6605 the doors H1817 of his face H6440 ? his teeth H8127 are terrible H367 round about. H5439
15 His scales H650 H4043 are his pride, H1346 shut up together H5462 as with a close H6862 seal. H2368
16 One H259 is so near H5066 to another, H259 that no H3808 air H7307 can come H935 between H996 them.
17 They are joined H1692 one H376 to another, H251 they stick together, H3920 that they cannot H3808 be sundered. H6504
18 By his sneezes H5846 a light H216 doth shine, H1984 and his eyes H5869 are like the eyelids H6079 of the morning. H7837
19 Out of his mouth H4480 H6310 go H1980 burning lamps, H3940 and sparks H3590 of fire H784 leap out. H4422
20 Out of his nostrils H4480 H5156 goeth H3318 smoke, H6227 as out of a seething H5301 pot H1731 or caldron. H100
21 His breath H5315 kindleth H3857 coals, H1513 and a flame H3851 goeth out H3318 of his mouth H4480 H6310 .
22 In his neck H6677 remaineth H3885 strength, H5797 and sorrow H1670 is turned into joy H1750 before H6440 him.
23 The flakes H4651 of his flesh H1320 are joined together: H1692 they are firm H3332 in H5921 themselves ; they cannot H1077 be moved. H4131
24 His heart H3820 is as firm H3332 as H3644 a stone; H68 yea , as hard H3332 as a piece H6400 of the nether H8482 millstone .
25 When he raiseth up H4480 H7613 himself , the mighty H410 are afraid: H1481 by reason of breakings H4480 H7667 they purify themselves. H2398
26 The sword H2719 of him that layeth H5381 at him cannot H1097 hold: H6965 the spear, H2595 the dart, H4551 nor the habergeon. H8302
27 He esteemeth H2803 iron H1270 as straw, H8401 and brass H5154 as rotten H7539 wood. H6086
28 The arrow H1121 H7198 cannot H3808 make him flee: H1272 slingstones H68 H7050 are turned H2015 with him into stubble. H7179
29 Darts H8455 are counted H2803 as stubble: H7179 he laugheth H7832 at the shaking H7494 of a spear. H3591
30 Sharp H2303 stones H2789 are under H8478 him : he spreadeth H7502 sharp pointed things H2742 upon H5921 the mire. H2916
31 He maketh the deep H4688 to boil H7570 like a pot: H5518 he maketh H7760 the sea H3220 like a pot of ointment. H4841
32 He maketh a path H5410 to shine H215 after H310 him; one would think H2803 the deep H8415 to be hoary. H7872
33 Upon H5921 earth H6083 there is not H369 his like, H4915 who is made H6213 without H1097 fear. H2844
34 He beholdeth H7200 H853 all H3605 high H1364 things : he H1931 is a king H4428 over H5921 all H3605 the children H1121 of pride. H7830
