The Holy Tanakh: Job: Chapter 40
|
|
{19}
He is the beginning of the ways of God; He only that made him can make His sword to approach unto him.
|
{20}
Surely the mountains bring him forth food, and all the beasts of the field play there.
|
{21}
He lieth under the lotus-trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.
|
{22}
The lotus-trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.
|
{23}
Behold, if a river overflow, he trembleth not; he is confident, though the Jordan rush forth to his mouth.
|
{24}
Shall any take him by his eyes, or pierce through his nose with a snare?
|
{25}
Canst thou draw out leviathan with a fish-hook? or press down his tongue with a cord?
|
{26}
Canst thou put a ring into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a hook?
|
{27}
Will he make many supplications unto thee? or will he speak soft words unto thee?
|
{28}
Will he make a covenant with thee, that thou shouldest take him for a servant for ever?
|
{29}
Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? Or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?
|
{30}
Will the bands of fishermen make a banquet of him? Will they part him among the merchants?
|
{31}
Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish-spears?
|
{32}
Lay thy hand upon him; think upon the battle, thou wilt do so no more.

The Holy Tanakh: Job: Chapter 41
|
|
{1}
Behold, the hope of him is in vain; shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him?
|
{2}
None is so fierce that dare stir him up; who then is able to stand before Me?
|
{3}
Who hath given Me anything beforehand, that I should repay him? Whatsoever is under the whole heaven is Mine.
|
{4}
Would I keep silence concerning his boastings, or his proud talk, or his fair array of words?
|
{5}
Who can uncover the face of his garment? Who shall come within his double bridle?
|
{6}
Who can open the doors of his face? Round about his teeth is terror.
|
{7}
His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal.
