Chapter 41

1


 

  Dost thou draw leviathan with an angle? And with a rope thou lettest down -- his tongue?  

 

 

-

2


 

  Dost thou put a reed in his nose? And with a thorn pierce his jaw?  

 

 

-

3


 

  Doth he multiply unto thee supplications? Doth he speak unto thee tender things?  

 

 

-

4


 

  Doth he make a covenant with thee? Dost thou take him for a servant age-during?  

 

 

-

5


 

  Dost thou play with him as a bird? And dost thou bind him for thy damsels?  

 

 

-

6


 

  (Feast upon him do companions, They divide him among the merchants!)  

 

 

-

7


 

  Dost thou fill with barbed irons his skin? And with fish-spears his head?  

 

 

-

8


 

  Place on him thy hand, Remember the battle -- do not add!  

 

 

-

9


 

  Lo, the hope of him is found a liar, Also at his appearance is not one cast down?  

 

 

-

10


 

  None so fierce that he doth awake him, And who [is] he before Me stationeth himself?  

 

 

-

11


 

  Who hath brought before Me and I repay? Under the whole heavens it [is] mine.  

 

 

-

12


 

  I do not keep silent concerning his parts, And the matter of might, And the grace of his arrangement.  

 

 

-

13


 

  Who hath uncovered the face of his clothing? Within his double bridle who doth enter?  

 

 

-

14


 

  The doors of his face who hath opened? Round about his teeth [are] terrible.  

 

 

-

15


 

  A pride -- strong ones of shields, Shut up -- a close seal.  

 

 

-

16


 

  One unto another they draw nigh, And air doth not enter between them.  

 

 

-

17


 

  One unto another they adhere, They stick together and are not separated.  

 

 

-

18


 

  His sneezings cause light to shine, And his eyes [are] as the eyelids of the dawn.  

 

 

-

19


 

  Out of his mouth do flames go, sparks of fire escape.  

 

 

-

20


 

  Out of his nostrils goeth forth smoke, As a blown pot and reeds.  

 

 

-

21


 

  His breath setteth coals on fire, And a flame from his mouth goeth forth.  

 

 

-

22


 

  In his neck lodge doth strength, And before him doth grief exult.  

 

 

-

23


 

  The flakes of his flesh have adhered -- Firm upon him -- it is not moved.  

 

 

-

24


 

  His heart [is] firm as a stone, Yea, firm as the lower piece.  

 

 

-

25


 

  From his rising are the mighty afraid, From breakings they keep themselves free.  

 

 

-

26


 

  The sword of his overtaker standeth not, Spear -- dart -- and lance.  

 

 

-

27


 

  He reckoneth iron as straw, brass as rotten wood.  

 

 

-

28


 

  The son of the bow doth not cause him to flee, Turned by him into stubble are stones of the sling.  

 

 

-

29


 

  As stubble have darts been reckoned, And he laugheth at the shaking of a javelin.  

 

 

-

30


 

  Under him [are] sharp points of clay, He spreadeth gold on the mire.  

 

 

-

31


 

  He causeth to boil as a pot the deep, The sea he maketh as a pot of ointment.  

 

 

-

32


 

  After him he causeth a path to shine, One thinketh the deep to be hoary.  

 

 

-

33


 

  There is not on the earth his like, That is made without terror.  

 

 

-

34


 

  Every high thing he doth see, He [is] king over all sons of pride.
