< Job 41 >

1 Is it possible for Leviathan to be pulled out with a fish-hook, or for a hook to be put through the bone of his mouth?
Will you draw out? Leviathan with a fish hook and with a cord will you hold down? tongue its.
2 Will you put a cord into his nose, or take him away with a cord round his tongue?
¿ Will you put a cord in nose its and with a hook will you pierce? jaw its.
3 Will he make prayers to you, or say soft words to you?
¿ Will it multiply to you supplications or? will it speak to you soft [words].
4 Will he make an agreement with you, so that you may take him as a servant for ever?
¿ Will it make a covenant with you will you take? it to a slave of perpetuity.
5 Will you make sport with him, as with a bird? or put him in chains for your young women?
¿ Will you play with it like bird and will you bind? it for girls your.
6 Will the fishermen make profit out of him? will they have him cut up for the traders?
Will they bargain? on it partners will they divide? it between merchants.
7 Will you put sharp-pointed irons into his skin, or fish-spears into his head?
¿ Will you fill with harpoons hide its and with a spear of fish head its.
8 Only put your hand on him, and see what a fight you will have; you will not do it again!
Put on it hands your remember [the] battle may not you repeat.
9 Truly, the hope of his attacker is false; he is overcome even on seeing him!
There! hope his it is proved a lie ¿ also because of appearance its everyone is thrown down.
10 He is so cruel that no one is ready to go against him. Who then is able to keep his place before me?
Not fierce that he will rouse it and who? that before me will he take his stand.
11 Who ever went against me, and got the better of me? There is no one under heaven!
Who? has he confronted me and I may repay under all the heavens [belongs] to me it.
12 I will not keep quiet about the parts of his body, or about his power, and the strength of his frame.
(To it *Q(K)*) I will keep silent limbs its and [the] matter of strength and [the] grace of arrangement its.
13 Who has ever taken off his outer skin? who may come inside his inner coat of iron?
Who? has he uncovered [the] surface of clothing its in [the] doubling of halter its who? will he come.
14 Who has made open the doors of his face? Fear is round about his teeth.
[the] doors of Face its who? has he opened [is] around teeth its terror.
15 His back is made of lines of plates, joined tight together, one against the other, like a stamp.
Pride [is] rows of shields shut up a seal tight.
16 One is so near to the other that no air may come between them.
One on one they draw near and a breath not it goes between them.
17 They take a grip of one another; they are joined together, so that they may not be parted.
Each on brother its they are joined together they grasp one another and not they are separated.
18 His sneezings give out flames, and his eyes are like the eyes of the dawn.
Sneezing its it flashes forth light and eyes its [are] like [the] eyelids of dawn.
19 Out of his mouth go burning lights, and flames of fire are jumping up.
From mouth its torches they go sparks of fire they escape.
20 Smoke comes out of his nose, like a pot boiling on the fire.
From nostrils its it goes forth smoke like a pot blown upon and bulrush[es].
21 His breath puts fire to coals, and a flame goes out of his mouth.
Breath its coals it kindles and a flame from mouth its it goes forth.
22 Strength is in his neck, and fear goes dancing before him.
In neck its it lodges strength and before it it leaps dismay.
23 The plates of his flesh are joined together, fixed, and not to be moved.
[the] hanging parts of Flesh its they cling hard to it not it is moved.
24 His heart is as strong as a stone, hard as the lower crushing-stone.
Heart its [is] hard like a stone and hard like a mill-stone lower.
25 When he gets ready for the fight, the strong are overcome with fear.
From uprising its they are afraid mighty ones from crashing they are bewildered.
26 The sword may come near him but is not able to go through him; the spear, or the arrow, or the sharp-pointed iron.
[one who] reaches It a sword not it is established a spear a dart and a javelin.
27 Iron is to him as dry grass, and brass as soft wood.
It considers to straw iron to wood of rottenness bronze.
28 The arrow is not able to put him to flight: stones are no more to him than dry stems.
Not it makes flee it [the] son of a bow into chaff they are changed for it stones of a sling.
29 A thick stick is no better than a leaf of grass, and he makes sport of the onrush of the spear.
Like chaff they are regarded a club so it may laugh to [the] shaking of a javelin.
30 Under him are sharp edges of broken pots: as if he was pulling a grain-crushing instrument over the wet earth.
Under it [are] sharp points of potsherd[s] it spreads out a threshing sledge on mud.
31 The deep is boiling like a pot of spices, and the sea like a perfume-vessel.
It makes boil like pot [the] deep [the] sea it makes like pot of ointment.
32 After him his way is shining, so that the deep seems white.
Behind it it makes shine a path anyone considers [the] deep to grey hair.
33 On earth there is not another like him, who is made without fear.
Not [is] on [the] dust likeness its the [one] made for not fear.
34 Everything which is high goes in fear of him; he is king over all the sons of pride.
Every exalted [one] it sees it [is] king over all [the] sons of pride.
