< Job 41 >
1 Will you draw out? Leviathan with a fish hook and with a cord will you hold down? tongue its.
Canst thou draw out leviathan with a fish hook? or press down his tongue with a cord?
2 ¿ Will you put a cord in nose its and with a hook will you pierce? jaw its.
Canst thou put a rope into his nose? or pierce his jaw through with a hook?
3 ¿ Will it multiply to you supplications or? will it speak to you soft [words].
Will he make many supplications unto thee? or will he speak soft words unto thee?
4 ¿ Will it make a covenant with you will you take? it to a slave of perpetuity.
Will he make a covenant with thee, that thou shouldest take him for a servant for ever?
5 ¿ Will you play with it like bird and will you bind? it for girls your.
Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?
6 Will they bargain? on it partners will they divide? it between merchants.
Shall the bands [of fishermen] make traffic of him? shall they part him among the merchants?
7 ¿ Will you fill with harpoons hide its and with a spear of fish head its.
Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons, or his head with fish spears?
8 Put on it hands your remember [the] battle may not you repeat.
Lay thine hand upon him; remember the battle, and do so no more.
9 There! hope his it is proved a lie ¿ also because of appearance its everyone is thrown down.
Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him?
10 Not fierce that he will rouse it and who? that before me will he take his stand.
None is so fierce that he dare stir him up: who then is he that can stand before me?
11 Who? has he confronted me and I may repay under all the heavens [belongs] to me it.
Who hath first given unto me, that I should repay him? [whatsoever is] under the whole heaven is mine.
12 (To it *Q(K)*) I will keep silent limbs its and [the] matter of strength and [the] grace of arrangement its.
I will not keep silence concerning his limbs, nor his mighty strength, nor his comely proportion.
13 Who? has he uncovered [the] surface of clothing its in [the] doubling of halter its who? will he come.
Who can strip off his outer garment? who shall come within his double bridle?
14 [the] doors of Face its who? has he opened [is] around teeth its terror.
Who can open the doors of his face? round about his teeth is terror.
15 Pride [is] rows of shields shut up a seal tight.
His strong scales are [his] pride, shut up together [as with] a close seal.
16 One on one they draw near and a breath not it goes between them.
One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.
17 Each on brother its they are joined together they grasp one another and not they are separated.
They are joined one to another; they stick together, that they cannot be sundered.
18 Sneezing its it flashes forth light and eyes its [are] like [the] eyelids of dawn.
His neesings flash forth light, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.
19 From mouth its torches they go sparks of fire they escape.
Out of his mouth go burning torches, and sparks of fire leap forth.
20 From nostrils its it goes forth smoke like a pot blown upon and bulrush[es].
Out of his nostrils a smoke goeth, as of a seething pot and [burning] rushes.
21 Breath its coals it kindles and a flame from mouth its it goes forth.
His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth forth from his mouth.
22 In neck its it lodges strength and before it it leaps dismay.
In his neck abideth strength, and terror danceth before him.
23 [the] hanging parts of Flesh its they cling hard to it not it is moved.
The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm upon him; they cannot be moved.
24 Heart its [is] hard like a stone and hard like a mill-stone lower.
His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, firm as the nether millstone.
25 From uprising its they are afraid mighty ones from crashing they are bewildered.
When he raiseth himself up, the mighty are afraid: by reason of consternation they are beside themselves.
26 [one who] reaches It a sword not it is established a spear a dart and a javelin.
If one lay at him with the sword, it cannot avail; nor the spear, the dart, nor the pointed shaft.
27 It considers to straw iron to wood of rottenness bronze.
He counteth iron as straw, [and] brass as rotten wood.
28 Not it makes flee it [the] son of a bow into chaff they are changed for it stones of a sling.
The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him into stubble.
29 Like chaff they are regarded a club so it may laugh to [the] shaking of a javelin.
Clubs are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the rushing of the javelin.
30 Under it [are] sharp points of potsherd[s] it spreads out a threshing sledge on mud.
His underparts are [like] sharp potsherds: he spreadeth [as it were] a threshing wain upon the mire.
31 It makes boil like pot [the] deep [the] sea it makes like pot of ointment.
He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like ointment.
32 Behind it it makes shine a path anyone considers [the] deep to grey hair.
He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary.
33 Not [is] on [the] dust likeness its the [one] made for not fear.
Upon earth there is not his like, that is made without fear.
34 Every exalted [one] it sees it [is] king over all [the] sons of pride.
He beholdeth every thing that is high: he is king over all the sons of pride.
