Job 41:28-34

28 "The arrow cannot make him flee; Slingstones * are turned into stubble for him.

29 "Clubs are regarded as stubble; He laughs at the rattling of the javelin.

30 "His underparts are like sharp potsherds; He spreads out like a threshing sledge on the mire.

31 "He makes the depths boil like a pot; He makes the sea like a jar of ointment.

32 "Behind him he makes a wake to shine; One would think the deep to be gray-haired.

33 "¹Nothing on earth is like him, One made without fear.

34 "He looks on everything that is high; He is king over all the ²sons of pride."
