Job 41

Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB

1 Can you pull in Leviathan with a hook or tie his tongue down with a rope?

2 Can you put a cord through his nose or pierce his jaw with a hook?

3 Will he beg you for mercy or speak softly to you?

4 Will he make a covenant with you so that you can take him as a slave forever?

5 Can you play with him like a bird or put him on a leash for your girls?

6 Will traders bargain for him or divide him among the merchants?

7 Can you fill his hide with harpoons or his head with fishing spears?

8 Lay a hand on him. You will remember the battle and never repeat it!

9 Any hope of [capturing] him proves false. Does a person not collapse at the very sight of him?

10 No one is ferocious [enough] to rouse Leviathan; who then can stand against Me?

11 Who confronted Me, that I should repay him? Everything under heaven belongs to Me.

12 I cannot be silent about his limbs, his power, and his graceful proportions.

13 Who can strip off his outer covering? Who can penetrate his double layer of armor?

14 Who can open his jaws, surrounded by those terrifying teeth?

15 [His] pride is in [his] rows of scales, closely sealed together.

16 One scale is so close to another that no air can pass between them.

17 They are joined to one another, so closely connected they cannot be separated.

18 His snorting flashes with light, while his eyes are like the rays of dawn.

19 Flaming torches shoot from his mouth; fiery sparks fly out!

20 Smoke billows from his nostrils as from a boiling pot or [burning] reeds.

21 His breath sets coals ablaze, and flames pour out of his mouth.

22 Strength resides in his neck, and dismay dances before him.

23 The folds of his flesh are joined together, solid as metal and immovable.

24 His heart is as hard as a rock, as hard as a lower millstone!

25 When Leviathan rises, the mighty are terrified; they withdraw because of [his] thrashing.

26 The sword that reaches him will have no effect, nor will a spear, dart, or arrow.

27 He regards iron as straw, and bronze as rotten wood.

28 No arrow can make him flee; slingstones become like stubble to him.

29 A club is regarded as stubble, and he laughs at the whirring of a javelin.

30 His undersides are jagged potsherds, spreading the mud like a threshing sledge.

31 He makes the depths seethe like a caldron; he makes the sea like an ointment jar.

32 He leaves a shining wake behind him; one would think the deep had white hair!

33 He has no equal on earth- a creature devoid of fear!

34 He surveys everything that is haughty; he is king over all the proud beasts.

English Standard Version ESV

1 “Can you draw out Leviathan with a fishhook or press down his tongue with a cord?

2 Can you put a rope in his nose or pierce his jaw with a hook?

3 Will he make many pleas to you? Will he speak to you soft words?

4 Will he make a covenant with you to take him for your servant forever?

5 Will you play with him as with a bird, or will you put him on a leash for your girls?

6 Will traders bargain over him? Will they divide him up among the merchants?

7 Can you fill his skin with harpoons or his head with fishing spears?

8 Lay your hands on him; remember the battle—you will not do it again!

9 Behold, the hope of a man is false; he is laid low even at the sight of him.

10 No one is so fierce that he dares to stir him up. Who then is he who can stand before me?

11 Who has first given to me, that I should repay him? Whatever is under the whole heaven is mine.

12 “I will not keep silence concerning his limbs, or his mighty strength, or his goodly frame.

13 Who can strip off his outer garment? Who would come near him with a bridle?

14 Who can open the doors of his face? Around his teeth is terror.

15 His back is made of rows of shields, shut up closely as with a seal.

16 One is so near to another that no air can come between them.

17 They are joined one to another; they clasp each other and cannot be separated.

18 His sneezings flash forth light, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the dawn.

19 Out of his mouth go flaming torches; sparks of fire leap forth.

20 Out of his nostrils comes forth smoke, as from a boiling pot and burning rushes.

21 His breath kindles coals, and a flame comes forth from his mouth.

22 In his neck abides strength, and terror dances before him.

23 The folds of his flesh stick together, firmly cast on him and immovable.

24 His heart is hard as a stone, hard as the lower millstone.

25 When he raises himself up the mighty are afraid; at the crashing they are beside themselves.

26 Though the sword reaches him, it does not avail, nor the spear, the dart, or the javelin.

27 He counts iron as straw, and bronze as rotten wood.

28 The arrow cannot make him flee; for him sling stones are turned to stubble.

29 Clubs are counted as stubble; he laughs at the rattle of javelins.

30 His underparts are like sharp potsherds; he spreads himself like a threshing sledge on the mire.

31 He makes the deep boil like a pot; he makes the sea like a pot of ointment.

32 Behind him he leaves a shining wake; one would think the deep to be white-haired.

33 On earth there is not his like, a creature without fear.

34 He sees everything that is high; he is king over all the sons of pride. ”
