Job 41 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

“[fn]Can you draw ^H4900 out ^H4900 [fn]Leviathan ^H3882 with a fishhook ^H2443?

Or press ^H8257 down ^H8257 its tongue ^H3956 with a cord ^H2256?

“Can you put ^H7760 a [fn]rope ^H100 in its nose ^H639

Or pierce ^H5344 its jaw ^H3895 with a [fn]hook ^H2336?

“Will it make ^H7235 many ^H7235 supplications ^H8469 to you,

Or ^H518 will he speak ^H1696 to you soft ^H7390 words ^H1697?

“Will it cut ^H3772 a covenant ^H1285 with you?

Will you take ^H3947 it for a slave ^H5650 forever ^H5769?

“Will you play ^H7832 with it as with a bird ^H6833,

Or will you bind ^H7194 it for your young ^H5291 women ^H5291?

“Will the [fn]traders ^H2271 bargain ^H3739 over ^H5921 it?

Will they divide ^H2673 it among ^H996 the merchants ^H3669?

“Can you fill ^H4390 its skin ^H5785 with harpoons ^H7905,

Or its head ^H7218 with fishing ^H1709 spears ^H6767?

“Place ^H7760 your hand ^H3709 on it;

Remember ^H2142 the battle ^H4421; [fn]you will not do ^H3254 that again ^H3254!

“[fn]Behold ^H2005, [fn]his expectation ^H8431 is ^H3576 a ^H3576 lie ^H3576;

Will [fn]he be laid ^H2904 low ^H2904 even ^H1571 at the sight ^H4758 of it?

“No ^H3808 one is so fierce ^H393 that he dares to arouse ^H5782 it;

Who ^H4310 then is he that can stand ^H3320 before ^H6440 Me?

“Who ^H4310 has [fn]given ^H6923 to Me that I should repay ^H7999 him?

Whatever is under ^H8478 the whole ^H3605 heaven ^H8064 is Mine.

“I will not keep ^H2790 silence ^H2790 concerning its limbs ^H905,

Or its mighty ^H1369 strength ^H1369 or its graceful ^H2433 frame ^H6187.

“Who ^H4310 can [fn]strip ^H1540 off ^H1540 its [fn]outer ^H6440 armor ^H3830?

Who ^H4310 can come ^H935 with its doubled ^H3718 [fn]bridle ^H7448?

“Who ^H4310 can open ^H6605 the doors ^H1817 of its face ^H6440?

Around ^H5439 its teeth ^H8127 there is dreadful ^H367 terror ^H367.

“Its [fn]strong ^H0650 scales ^H4043 are its pride ^H1346,

Shut ^H5462 up ^H5462 as with a tight ^H6862 seal ^H2368.

“One ^H259 is so near ^H5066 to another ^H259

That no ^H3808 air ^H7307 can come ^H935 between ^H996 them.

“They cling ^H1692 one ^H376 to another ^H251;

They are interlocked ^H3920 and cannot ^H3808 be separated ^H6504.

“Its sneezes ^H5846 flash ^H1984 forth ^H1984 light ^H216,

And its eyes ^H5869 are like the eyelids ^H6079 of the morning ^H7837.

“Out of its mouth ^H6310 go ^H1980 burning ^H3940 torches ^H3940;

Sparks ^H3590 of fire ^H784 [fn]leap ^H4422 forth ^H4422.

“Out of its nostrils ^H5156 smoke ^H6227 goes ^H3318 forth ^H3318

As from a boiling ^H5301 pot ^H1731 and burning reeds ^H100.

“Its breath ^H5315 kindles ^H3857 coals ^H1513,

And a flame ^H3851 goes ^H3318 forth ^H3318 from its mouth ^H6310.

“In its neck ^H6677 lodges ^H3885 strength ^H5797,

And dismay ^H1670 leaps ^H1750 before ^H6440 it.

“The folds ^H4651 of its flesh ^H1320 cling ^H1692 together ^H1692,

Hardened ^H3332 upon it and is not ^H1077 shaken ^H4131.

“Its heart ^H3820 is as hard ^H3332 as a stone ^H68,

Even as hard ^H3332 as a lower ^H8482 millstone ^H6400.

“When ^H4480 it raises ^H7613 itself up, the [fn]mighty ^H410 fear ^H1481,

Because ^H4480 of the crashing ^H7667 they are ^H2398 [fn]bewildered ^H2398.

“The sword ^H2719 that reaches ^H5381 it cannot ^H1097 avail ^H6965,

Nor ^H1097 the spear ^H2595, the dart ^H4551, or the javelin ^H8302.

“It regards ^H2803 iron ^H1270 as straw ^H8401,

Bronze ^H5154 as rotten ^H7539 wood ^H6086.

“The [fn]arrow ^H1121 cannot ^H3808 make it flee ^H1272;

Slingstones ^H7050 H68 are turned ^H2015 into stubble ^H7179 for it.

“Clubs ^H8455 are regarded ^H2803 as stubble ^H7179;

It laughs ^H7832 at the rattling ^H7494 of the javelin ^H3591.

“Its underparts ^H8478 are like sharp ^H2303 potsherds ^H2789;

It [fn]spreads ^H7502 out ^H7502 like a threshing ^H2742 sledge ^H2742 on the mire ^H2916.

“It makes the depths ^H4688 boil ^H7570 like a pot ^H5518;

It makes ^H7760 the sea ^H3220 like a jar ^H4841 of ^H4841 ointment ^H4841.

“Behind ^H310 it, it makes a wake ^H5410 to shine ^H215;

One would think ^H2803 the deep ^H8415 to be gray-haired ^H7872.

“There ^H369 is ^H369 nothing ^H369 upon the [fn]dust ^H6083 like ^H4915 it,

One made ^H6213 without ^H1097 terror ^H2844.

“[fn]It looks ^H7200 on everything ^H3605 that is high ^H1364;

It is king ^H4428 over ^H5921 all ^H3605 the sons ^H1121 of pride ^H7830.”
