| 41:1 |
Dost thou draw leviathan with an angle? And with a rope thou lettest down -- his tongue?
|
| 41:2 |
Dost thou put a reed in his nose? And with a thorn pierce his jaw?
|
| 41:3 |
Doth he multiply unto thee supplications? Doth he speak unto thee tender things?
|
| 41:4 |
Doth he make a covenant with thee? Dost thou take him for a servant age-during?
|
| 41:5 |
Dost thou play with him as a bird? And dost thou bind him for thy damsels?
|
| 41:6 |
(Feast upon him do companions, They divide him among the merchants!)
|
| 41:7 |
Dost thou fill with barbed irons his skin? And with fish-spears his head?
|
| 41:8 |
Place on him thy hand, Remember the battle -- do not add!
|
| 41:9 |
Lo, the hope of him is found a liar, Also at his appearance is not one cast down?
|
| 41:10 |
None so fierce that he doth awake him, And who [is] he before Me stationeth himself?
|
| 41:11 |
Who hath brought before Me and I repay? Under the whole heavens it [is] mine.
|
| 41:12 |
I do not keep silent concerning his parts, And the matter of might, And the grace of his arrangement.
|
| 41:13 |
Who hath uncovered the face of his clothing? Within his double bridle who doth enter?
|
| 41:14 |
The doors of his face who hath opened? Round about his teeth [are] terrible.
|
| 41:15 |
A pride -- strong ones of shields, Shut up -- a close seal.
|
| 41:16 |
One unto another they draw nigh, And air doth not enter between them.
|
| 41:17 |
One unto another they adhere, They stick together and are not separated.
|
| 41:18 |
His sneezings cause light to shine, And his eyes [are] as the eyelids of the dawn.
|
| 41:19 |
Out of his mouth do flames go, sparks of fire escape.
|
| 41:20 |
Out of his nostrils goeth forth smoke, As a blown pot and reeds.
|
| 41:21 |
His breath setteth coals on fire, And a flame from his mouth goeth forth.
|
| 41:22 |
In his neck lodge doth strength, And before him doth grief exult.
|
| 41:23 |
The flakes of his flesh have adhered -- Firm upon him -- it is not moved.
|
| 41:24 |
His heart [is] firm as a stone, Yea, firm as the lower piece.
|
| 41:25 |
From his rising are the mighty afraid, From breakings they keep themselves free.
|
| 41:26 |
The sword of his overtaker standeth not, Spear -- dart -- and lance.
|
| 41:27 |
He reckoneth iron as straw, brass as rotten wood.
|
| 41:28 |
The son of the bow doth not cause him to flee, Turned by him into stubble are stones of the sling.
|
| 41:29 |
As stubble have darts been reckoned, And he laugheth at the shaking of a javelin.
|
| 41:30 |
Under him [are] sharp points of clay, He spreadeth gold on the mire.
|
| 41:31 |
He causeth to boil as a pot the deep, The sea he maketh as a pot of ointment.
|
| 41:32 |
After him he causeth a path to shine, One thinketh the deep to be hoary.
|
| 41:33 |
There is not on the earth his like, That is made without terror.
|
| 41:34 |
Every high thing he doth see, He [is] king over all sons of pride.
