Chapter 41

1


 

  I will not stir him up, like one that is cruel : for who can resist my countenance?  

 

 

-

2


 

  Who hath given me before that I should repay him? All things that are under heaven are mine.  

 

 

-

3


 

  I will not spare him, nor his mighty words, and framed to make supplication.  

 

 

-

4


 

  Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can go into the midst of his mouth?  

 

 

-

5


 

  Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about.  

 

 

-

6


 

  His body is like molten shields, shut close up with scales pressing upon one another.  

 

 

-

7


 

  One is joined to another, and not so much as any air can come between them :  

 

 

-

8


 

  They stick one to another and they hold one another fast, and shall not be separated.  

 

 

-

9


 

  His sneezing is like the shining of fire, and his eyes like the eyelids of the morning.  

 

 

-

10


 

  Out of his mouth go forth lamps, like torches of lighted fire.  

 

 

-

11


 

  Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, like that of a pot heated and boiling.  

 

 

-

12


 

  His breath kindleth coals, and a flame cometh forth out of his mouth.  

 

 

-

13


 

  In his neck strength shall dwell, and want goeth before his face.  

 

 

-

14


 

  The members of his flesh cleave one to another : he shall send lightnings against him, and they shall not be carried to another place.  

 

 

-

15


 

  His heart shall be as hard as a stone, and as firm as a smith's anvil.  

 

 

-

16


 

  When he shall raise him up, the angels shall fear, and being affrighted shall purify themselves.  

 

 

-

17


 

  When a sword shall lay at him, it shall not be able to hold, nor a spear, nor a breastplate.  

 

 

-

18


 

  For he shall esteem iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.  

 

 

-

19


 

  The archer shall not put him to flight, the stones of the sling are to him like stubble.  

 

 

-

20


 

  As stubble will he esteem the hammer, and he will laugh him to scorn who shaketh the spear.  

 

 

-

21


 

  The beams of the sun shall be under him, and he shall strew gold under him like mire.  

 

 

-

22


 

  He shall make the deep sea to boil like a pot, and shall make it as when ointments boil.  

 

 

-

23


 

  A path shall shine after him, he shall esteem the deep as growing old.  

 

 

-

24


 

  There is no power upon earth that can be compared with him who was made to fear no one.  

 

 

-

25


 

  He beholdeth every high thing, he is king over all the children of pride.
