Job 41 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

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

And pierce ^H5344 his jaw ^H3895 with a [fn]hook ^H2336?

“Will he make ^H7235 many ^H7235 pleas ^H8469 to you,

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

“Will he make ^H3772 a covenant ^H1285 with you?

Will you take ^H3947 him as a servant ^H5650 forever ^H5769?

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

And tie ^H7194 him down ^H7194 for your young ^H5291 girls ^H5291?

“Will the [fn]traders ^H2271 bargain ^H3739 for ^H5921 him?

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

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

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

“Lay ^H7760 your hand ^H3709 on him.

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

“[fn]Behold ^H2005, [fn]your expectation ^H8431 is ^H3576 false ^H3576;

Will [fn]you be hurled ^H2904 down ^H2904 even ^H1571 at the sight ^H4758 of him?

“No ^H3808 one is so reckless ^H393 that he dares to stir ^H5782 him;

Who ^H4310 then is he who opposes ^H3320 Me?

“Who ^H4310 has been ^H6923 first ^H6923 to give to Me, that I should repay ^H7999 him?

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

“I will not be ^H2790 silent ^H2790 about his limbs ^H905,

Or his mighty ^H1369 strength ^H1369, or his graceful ^H2433 frame ^H6187.

“Who ^H4310 can [fn]strip ^H1540 off ^H1540 his outer ^H6440 covering ^H3830?

Who ^H4310 can [fn]pierce ^H935 his double ^H3718 [fn]armor ^H7448?

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

Around ^H5439 his teeth ^H8127 there is terror ^H367.

“His [fn]strong ^H650 scales ^H4043 are his pride ^H1346,

Locked ^H5462 as with a tight ^H6862 seal ^H2368.

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

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

“They are joined ^H1692 one ^H376 to another ^H251;

They clasp ^H3920 each ^H376 other and cannot ^H3808 be separated ^H6504.

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

And his eyes ^H5869 are like the eye ^H6079 of dawn ^H7837.

“From his mouth ^H6310 go ^H1980 burning ^H3940 torches ^H3940;

Sparks ^H3590 of fire ^H784 leap ^H4422 forth ^H4422.

“From his nostrils ^H5156 smoke ^H6227 goes ^H3318 out ^H3318

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

“His breath ^H5315 sets ^H3857 coals ^H1513 aglow ^H3857 H1513,

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

“In his neck ^H6677 dwells ^H3885 strength ^H5797,

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

“The folds ^H4651 of his flesh ^H1320 are joined ^H1692 together ^H1692,

Firm ^H3332 and immovable ^H1077 H4131 on him.

“His heart ^H3820 is as firm ^H3332 as a stone ^H68,

And as firm ^H3332 as a lower ^H8482 millstone ^H6400.

“When ^H4480 he rises ^H7613 up, the [fn]mighty ^H410 are afraid ^H1481;

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

“The sword ^H2719 that reaches ^H5381 him cannot ^H1097 [fn]prevail ^H6965,

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

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

Bronze ^H5154 as rotten ^H7539 wood ^H6086.

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

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

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

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

“His underparts ^H8478 are like sharp ^H2303 pieces ^H2789 of ^H2789 pottery ^H2789;

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

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

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

“Behind ^H310 him he illuminates ^H215 a pathway ^H5410;

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

“Nothing ^H369 on [fn]earth ^H6083 is like ^H4915 him,

One made ^H6213 without ^H1097 fear ^H2844.

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

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