[ 40:20] But will you catch the serpent with a hook, and put a halter about his nose? [ 40:21] Or will you fasten a ring in his nostril, and bore his lip with a clasp? [ 40:22] Will he address you with a petition? Softly, with the voice of a suppliant? [ 40:23] And will he make a covenant with you? And will you take him for a perpetual servant? [ 40:24] And will you play with him as with a bird? Or bind him as a sparrow for a child? [ 40:25] And do the nations feed upon him, and the nations of the Phoenicians share him? [ 40:26] And all the ships come together would not be able to bear the mere skin of his tail, neither [shall they carry] his head in fishing vessels. [ 40:27] But you shall lay your hand upon him once, remembering the war that is waged by his mouth; and let it not be done anymore. [ 41:0] Have you not seen him? And have you not wondered at the things said [of him]? [ 41:1] Do you not fear because preparation has been made by Me? For who is there that resists Me? [ 41:2] Or who will resist Me, and stand their ground, since the whole world under heaven is Mine? [ 41:3] I will not be silent because of him: though because of his power one shall pity his antagonist. [ 41:4] Who will open the face of his garment? And who can enter within the fold of his breastplate? [ 41:5] Who will open the doors of his face? Terror is round about his teeth. [ 41:6] His inwards are as bronze plates, and the texture of his skin as a smyrite stone. [ 41:7] One [part] cleaves fast to another, and the air cannot come between them. [ 41:8] They will remain united each to the other: they are closely joined, and cannot be separated. [ 41:9] At his sneezing a light shines, and his eyes are as the appearance of the morning star. [ 41:10] Out of his mouth proceed as it were burning lamps, and as it were hearths of fire are cast abroad. [ 41:11] Out of his nostrils proceeds smoke of a furnace burning with fire of coals. [ 41:12] His breath is as live coals, and a flame goes out of his mouth. [ 41:13] And power is lodged in his neck, before him destruction runs. [ 41:14] The flesh also of his body is joined together: if one pours violence upon him, he shall not be moved. [ 41:15] His heart is firm as a stone, and it stands like an unyielding anvil. [ 41:16] And when he turns, [he is] a terror to the four-footed wild beasts which leap upon the earth. [ 41:17] If spears should come against him, men will effect nothing, [neither with] the spear or the breast plate. [ 41:18] For he considers iron as chaff, and brass as rotten wood. [ 41:19] The bow of brass shall not wound him, he deems a slinger as grass. [ 41:20] Mauls are counted as stubble; and he laughs to scorn the waving of the firebrand. [ 41:21] His lair is [formed of] sharp points, and all the gold of the sea under him is an immense [quantity] of clay. [ 41:22] He makes the deep boil like a bronze caldron, and he regards the sea as a pot of ointment, [ 41:23] and the lowest part of the deep as a captive: he reckons the deep as his range. [ 41:24] There is nothing upon the earth like him, formed to be sported with by My angels. [ 41:25] He beholds every high thing, and he is king of all that are in the waters.
