Iyov 41

¹See, every tokhelet (expectation) is false;

shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him?

²None is so foolhardy that dare stir him up.

Mi (who) then is able to stand before Me?

³Mi (who) hath given Me, that I must repay him?

Whatsoever is under the kol HaShomayim is Mine.

⁴I will not keep silent about his members,

nor his gevurah, nor the grace of his form.

⁵Mi (who) can remove his outer garment?

Or mi (who) can come near him with a double bridle?

⁶Mi (who) can open the doors of his face?

Terror is round about his teeth.

⁷His scales are his ga'avah (pride) ,

shut up together as with a rigid chotam (seal) .

⁸One is so near to another,

that no ruach (air) can pass between them.

⁹They are joined one to another;

they stick together, inseparably.

¹⁰By his sneezings ohr flares out,

and his eyes are like the eyelids of the shachar.

¹¹Out of his mouth goeth flame,

and sparks of eish leap out.

¹²Out of his nostrils goeth forth smoke,

like a seething pot or caldron.

¹³His breath kindleth coals,

and a flame goeth out of his mouth.

¹⁴In his neck resideth oz (strength) ,

and terror dances before him.

¹⁵The flanks of his basar are joined together;

they are firm in themselves, immoveable.

¹⁶His lev (chest) is as firm as an even (stone) ;

yea, as hard as the lower millstone.

¹⁷When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid;

shuddering they retreat.

¹⁸The cherev of him that reacheth at him cannot hold

— the spear, the dart, nor the harpoon.

¹⁹He esteemeth barzel (iron) like straw,

and nechoshet as rotten wood.

²⁰The arrow cannot make him flee;

sling stones are turned with him into stubble.

²¹Clubs are counted as straw;

he laugheth at the shaking of a spear.

²²Sharp shards are his under parts;

he leaveth a trail in the mud like a threshing sledge.

²³He maketh the deep to boil like a pot;

he stirreth the yam like a pot of ointment.

²⁴He maketh a wake to shine after him;

one would think the deep to be white hair.

²⁵Upon earth there is not his equal,

who is created without fear.

²⁶He beholdeth all things lofty;

he is a melech over every proud beast.
