Job 41:5-34 ▼

5 (40:29) Wylt thou take thy pastime with him as with a birde, wilt thou binde him for thy maydens?

6 (40:30) That thy companions may make a refection of him: or shall he be parted among the marchauntes?

7 (40:31) Canst thou fil the basket with his skin? or the fishe panier with his head?

8 (40:32) Laye thyne hande vpon him, remember the battaile, and do no more so.

9 (40:33) Beholde his hope is in vaine: for shall not one perishe euen at the sight of him?

10 (41:1) No man is so fierce that dare stirre him vp: Who is able to stande before me?

11 (41:2) Or who hath geuen me any thyng aforehande, that I may rewarde him againe? All thinges vnder heauen are myne.

12 (41:3) I wyll not keepe secrete his great strength, his power, nor his comely proportion.

13 (41:4) Who can discouer the face of his garment? or who shall come to him with a double brydle?

14 (41:5) Who shall open the doores of his face? for he hath horrible teeth round about.

15 (41:6) His scales are as it were strong shieldes, so fastened together as if they were sealed:

16 (41:7) One is so ioyned to another, that no ayre can come in:

17 (41:8) Yea, one hangeth so vpon another, & sticketh so together, that they can not be sundred.

18 (41:9) His neesinges make a glistering like fyre, and his eyes lyke the morning shine.

19 (41:10) Out of his mouth go torches, and sparkes of fire leape out.

20 (41:11) And out of his nostrels there goeth a smoke, lyke as out of an hotte seething pot, or caldron.

21 (41:2) His breath maketh the coles burne, and the flambe goeth out of his mouth.

22 (41:13) In his necke ther remaineth strength, and nothing is to labourous for him.

23 (41:14) The members of his body are ioyned so strait one to another, and cleaue so fast together, that he cannot be moued.

24 (41:5) His heart is as hard as a stone, and as fast as the stythie that the smyth smiteth vpon.

25 (41:6) When he goeth the mightie are afraide, and feare troubleth them.

26 (41:17) If any man drawe out a sword at him, it shall not hurt him: there may neither speare, laueling, nor brestplate abide him.

27 (41:18) He setteth asmuch by iron as by a strawe, and asmuch by brasse as by a rotten sticke.

28 (41:19) He starteth not away from him that bendeth the bowe: & as for sling stones he careth asmuch for stouble as for the.

29 (41:20) He counteth the dartes no better then a strawe, he laugheth him to scorne that shaketh the speare.

30 (41:21) Sharpe stones are vnder him lyke potsheardes, and he lyeth vpon sharpe thinges as vpon the soft myre.

31 (41:22) He maketh the deepe to boyle lyke a pot, and stirreth the sea together lyke an oyntment.

32 (41:23) He maketh the path to be seene after him, and he maketh the deepe to seeme all hoarie.

33 (41:24) Upon earth there is no power lyke vnto his: for he is so made that he feareth not.

34 (41:25) He beholdeth all the hye thinges, he is a king ouer all the children of pride.
