| 41:1 | Canst thou draw out <04900> (8799) leviathan <03882> with an hook <02443>? or his tongue <03956> with a cord <02256> [which] thou lettest down <08257> (8686)? {leviathan: probably an extinct animal of some kind} {which...: Heb. which thou drownest?} |
| 41:2 | Canst thou put <07760> (8799) an hook <0100> into his nose <0639>? or bore <05344> (8799) his jaw <03895> through with a thorn <02336>? |
| 41:3 | Will he make many <07235> (8686) supplications <08469> unto thee? will he speak <01696> (8762) soft <07390> [words] unto thee? |
| 41:4 | Will he make <03772> (8799) a covenant <01285> with thee? wilt thou take <03947> (8799) him for a servant <05650> for ever <05769>? |
| 41:5 | Wilt thou play <07832> (8762) with him as [with] a bird <06833>? or wilt thou bind <07194> (8799) him for thy maidens <05291>? |
| 41:6 | Shall the companions <02271> make a banquet <03739> (8799) of him? shall they part <02673> (8799) him among the merchants <03669>? |
| 41:7 | Canst thou fill <04390> (8762) his skin <05785> with barbed irons <07905>? or his head <07218> with fish <01709> spears <06767>? |
| 41:8 | Lay <07760> (8798) thine hand <03709> upon him, remember <02142> (8798) the battle <04421>, do no more <03254> (8686). |
| 41:9 | Behold, the hope <08431> of him is in vain <03576> (8738): shall not [one] be cast down <02904> (8714) even at the sight <04758> of him? |
| 41:10 | None [is so] fierce <0393> that dare stir him up <05782> (8799) (8675) <05782> (8686): who then is able to stand <03320> (8691) before <06440> me? |
| 41:11 | Who hath prevented <06923> (8689) me, that I should repay <07999> (8762) [him? whatsoever is] under the whole heaven <08064> is mine. |
| 41:12 | I will not conceal <02790> (8686) his parts <0907>, nor his power <01369> <01697>, nor his comely <02433> proportion <06187>. |
| 41:13 | Who can discover <01540> (8765) the face <06440> of his garment <03830>? [or] who can come <0935> (8799) [to him] with his double <03718> bridle <07448>? {with: or, within} |
| 41:14 | Who can open <06605> (8765) the doors <01817> of his face <06440>? his teeth <08127> [are] terrible <0367> round about <05439>. |
| 41:15 | [His] scales <04043> <0650> [are his] pride <01346>, shut up together <05462> (8803) [as with] a close <06862> seal <02368>. {scales: Heb. strong pieces of shields} |
| 41:16 | One <0259> is so near <05066> (8799) to another <0259>, that no air <07307> can come <0935> (8799) between them. |
| 41:17 | They are joined <01692> (8792) one <0376> to another <0251>, they stick together <03920> (8691), that they cannot be sundered <06504> (8691). |
| 41:18 | By his neesings <05846> a light <0216> doth shine <01984> (8686), and his eyes <05869> [are] like the eyelids <06079> of the morning <07837>. |
| 41:19 | Out of his mouth <06310> go <01980> (8799) burning lamps <03940>, [and] sparks <03590> of fire <0784> leap out <04422> (8691). |
| 41:20 | Out of his nostrils <05156> goeth <03318> (8799) smoke <06227>, as [out] of a seething <05301> (8803) pot <01731> or caldron <0100>. |
| 41:21 | His breath <05315> kindleth <03857> (8762) coals <01513>, and a flame <03851> goeth out <03318> (8799) of his mouth <06310>. |
| 41:22 | In his neck <06677> remaineth <03885> (8799) strength <05797>, and sorrow <01670> is turned into joy <01750> (8799) before <06440> him. {is turned into joy: Heb. rejoiceth} |
| 41:23 | The flakes <04651> of his flesh <01320> are joined together <01692> (8804): they are firm <03332> (8803) in themselves; they cannot be moved <04131> (8735). {flakes: Heb. fallings} |
| 41:24 | His heart <03820> is as firm <03332> (8803) as a stone <068>; yea, as hard <03332> (8803) as a piece <06400> of the nether <08482> [millstone]. |
| 41:25 | When he raiseth up <07613> himself, the mighty <0352> are afraid <01481> (8799): by reason of breakings <07667> they purify <02398> (8691) themselves. |
| 41:26 | The sword <02719> of him that layeth <05381> (8688) at him cannot hold <06965> (8799): the spear <02595>, the dart <04551>, nor the habergeon <08302>. {habergeon: or, breastplate} |
| 41:27 | He esteemeth <02803> (8799) iron <01270> as straw <08401>, [and] brass <05154> as rotten <07539> wood <06086>. |
| 41:28 | The arrow <01121> <07198> cannot make him flee <01272> (8686): slingstones <068> <07050> are turned <02015> (8738) with him into stubble <07179>. |
| 41:29 | Darts <08455> are counted <02803> (8738) as stubble <07179>: he laugheth <07832> (8799) at the shaking <07494> of a spear <03591>. |
| 41:30 | Sharp <02303> stones <02789> [are] under him: he spreadeth <07502> (8799) sharp pointed things <02742> upon the mire <02916>. {Sharp stones: Heb. Sharp pieces of potsherd} |
| 41:31 | He maketh the deep <04688> to boil <07570> (8686) like a pot <05518>: he maketh <07760> (8799) the sea <03220> like a pot of ointment <04841>. |
| 41:32 | He maketh a path <05410> to shine <0215> (8686) after <0310> him; [one] would think <02803> (8799) the deep <08415> [to be] hoary <07872>. |
| 41:33 | Upon earth <06083> there is not his like <04915>, who is made <06213> (8803) without <01097> fear <02844>. {is made without fear: or, behave themselves without fear} |
| 41:34 | He beholdeth <07200> (8799) all high <01364> [things]: he [is] a king <04428> over all the children <01121> of pride <07830>. |
