Textus Receptus Bibles
Jay P. Green's Literal Translation 1993
41:1 | Can you draw out the leviathan with a hook, or hold down his tongue with a cord? |
41:2 | Can you put a reed rope into his nose, or pierce his jaw with a thorn? |
41:3 | Will he multiply pleas for help to you; or will he speak soft words to you? |
41:4 | Will he cut a covenant with you; will you take him for a slave forever? |
41:5 | Will you play with him as with a bird; or will you tie him up for your maidens? |
41:6 | Shall your partners bargain over him; shall they divide him among the merchants? |
41:7 | Can you fill his skin with barbed irons, or his head with fishing spears? |
41:8 | Put your hand on him; remember the battle; you will not do it again! |
41:9 | Behold, his hope has been made false; will he not be cast down at the sight of him? |
41:10 | None is so fierce as to dare to stir him up. Who then is able to stand before Me? |
41:11 | Who has gone before Me that I should repay? All under the heavens, it is Mine! |
41:12 | I will not keep silent as to his limbs, or the matter of his powers, or the grace of his frame. |
41:13 | Who can take off the face of his covering; who can come with his double bridle? |
41:14 | Who can pry open the doors of his face? Terror is all around his teeth. |
41:15 | The rows of shields are his pride, shut up with a tight seal; |
41:16 | one is so near to another that no air can come between them; |
41:17 | they are joined to one another; they clasp each other, so that they cannot be separated. |
41:18 | His sneezings flash forth light, and his eyes are as the eyelids of the dawn. |
41:19 | Out of his mouth go burning torches; sparks of fire fly out. |
41:20 | Smoke goes out of his nostrils like a boiling pot fired by reeds. |
41:21 | His breath kindles coals and the flame goes out from his mouth. |
41:22 | Strength abides in his neck and terror dances before him. |
41:23 | The folds of flesh cleave together, cast firm on him; he cannot be moved. |
41:24 | His heart is cast hard as a stone, even cast hard as a piece of riding millstone. |
41:25 | The mighty are afraid from his arising; from the crashings they miss the way. |
41:26 | The sword overtakes him, but will not hold firm, nor the spear, the dart, or the javelin. |
41:27 | He counts iron as straw, bronze as rotten wood. |
41:28 | A son of a bow cannot make him flee; slingstones are turned to stubble by him; |
41:29 | darts are counted as straw; he laughs at the shaking of a javelin. |
41:30 | Points of potsherds are under him; he spreads sharp marks on the mire. |
41:31 | He makes the deep boil like a pot; he makes the sea like a pot of ointment; |
41:32 | he makes a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be grayheaded. |
41:33 | There is nothing like him on earth, one made without fear. |
41:34 | He beholds all high things ; he is king over all the sons of pride. |
