Job 41

Job 41:1

Canst thou draw up leviathan with an hook?

In like manner, cast thine eye into the deep waters, and see there the great whale that I have framed; canst thou think to angle for him, as for small fish? &c.

Job 41:7

Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons?

Canst thou pierce his skin with barbed hooks?

Job 41:8

Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more.

If thou lay thy hand upon him to strike him, thou shalt have so much reason to feel the smart of this conflict, that thou shalt not meddle with him any more.

Job 41:11

Who hath prevented me, that I should repay him?

Who hath done me any favour in helping me to make or govern the world, or in furthering my actions, that I may repay it unto him?

Job 41:13

Who can discover the face of his garment?

Who is able to turn over that skin, wherewith he is covered as with a garment?

Job 41:18

By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.

When he neeseth, he maketh, as it were, a fire to break forth at his nostrils and eyes; and when thou beholdest his eyes, thou wouldest think thou sawest the sun rising in the morning.

Job 41:22

And sorrow is turned into joy before him.

And if from any other creature, there be occasion of trouble and vexation offered to him, he takes pleasure therein, as that which he will turn to his advantage and triumph.

Job 41:25

By reason of breakings they purify themselves.

Out of the fear of his vehement and terrible motions, they are glad to make their peace with God, that they may be ready for that dissolution, which is threatened unto them thereby.

Job 41:32

He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary.

Where he moves in the sea, he causeth a motion of his way in the waters; leaving behind him a white kind of foam, on the face of the sea, discernible from the rest of the waves.

Job 41:34

He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.

He doth, in the confidence of his great strength, overlook all other living creatures, and exalt himself over the proudest of them; as thinking himself more strong and mighty than they.
