Job 41:17–33

¹⁷They are joined each to its fellow; they stick together, and cannot be sundered. ¹⁸His sneezings flash light, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning. ¹⁹Out of his mouth go forth flames; sparks of fire leap out: ²⁰Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a boiling pot and cauldron. ²¹His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth. ²²In his neck lodgeth strength, and terror danceth before him. ²³The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are fused upon him, they cannot be moved. ²⁴His heart is firm as a stone, yea, firm as the nether millstone. ²⁵When he raiseth himself up, the mighty are afraid: they are beside themselves with consternation. ²⁶If any reach him with a sword, it cannot hold; neither spear, nor dart, nor harpoon. ²⁷He esteemeth iron as straw, bronze as rotten wood. ²⁸The arrow will not make him flee; slingstones are turned with him into stubble. ²⁹Clubs are counted as stubble; he laugheth at the shaking of a javelin. ³⁰His under parts are sharp potsherds: he spreadeth a threshing-sledge upon the mire. ³¹He maketh the deep to boil like a pot; he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment; ³²He maketh the path to shine after him: one would think the deep to be hoary. ³³Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear.
