Bible verses about "leviathan" | JPS_ASV_Byz

¹⁰ (41:2) None is so fierce that dare stir him up; who then is able to stand before Me?

¹ Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said: ² Shall he that reproveth contend with the Almighty? He that argueth with God, let him answer it. ³ Then Job answered the LORD, and said: ⁴ Behold, I am of small account; what shall I answer Thee? I lay my hand upon my mouth. ⁵ Once have I spoken, but I will not answer again; yea, twice, but I will proceed no further. ⁶ Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said: ⁷ Gird up thy loins now like a man; I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto Me. ⁸ Wilt thou even make void My judgment? Wilt thou condemn Me, that thou mayest be justified? ⁹ Or hast thou an arm like God? And canst thou thunder with a voice like Him? ¹⁰ Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency, and array thyself with glory and beauty. ¹¹ Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath; and look upon every one that is proud, and abase him. ¹² Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place. ¹³ Hide them in the dust together; bind their faces in the hidden place. ¹⁴ Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee. ¹⁵ Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox. ¹⁶ Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the stays of his body. ¹⁷ He straineth his tail like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are knit together. ¹⁸ His bones are as pipes of brass; his gristles are like bars of iron. ¹⁹ He is the beginning of the ways of God; He only that made him can make His sword to approach unto him. ²⁰ Surely the mountains bring him forth food, and all the beasts of the field play there. ²¹ He lieth under the lotus-trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens. ²² The lotus-trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about. ²³ Behold, if a river overflow, he trembleth not; he is confident, though the Jordan rush forth to his mouth. ²⁴ Shall any take him by his eyes, or pierce through his nose with a snare?

¹ (40:25) Canst thou draw out leviathan with a fish-hook? or press down his tongue with a cord? ² (40:26) Canst thou put a ring into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a hook? ³ (40:27) Will he make many supplications unto thee? or will he speak soft words unto thee? ⁴ (40:28) Will he make a covenant with thee, that thou shouldest take him for a servant for ever? ⁵ (40:29) Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? Or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens? ⁶ (40:30) Will the bands of fishermen make a banquet of him? Will they part him among the merchants? ⁷ (40:31) Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish-spears? ⁸ (40:32) Lay thy hand upon him; think upon the battle, thou wilt do so no more. ⁹ (41:1) Behold, the hope of him is in vain; shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him? ¹⁰ (41:2) None is so fierce that dare stir him up; who then is able to stand before Me? ¹¹ (41:3) Who hath given Me anything beforehand, that I should repay him? Whatsoever is under the whole heaven is Mine. ¹² (41:4) Would I keep silence concerning his boastings, or his proud talk, or his fair array of words? ¹³ (41:5) Who can uncover the face of his garment? Who shall come within his double bridle? ¹⁴ (41:6) Who can open the doors of his face? Round about his teeth is terror. ¹⁵ (41:7) His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal. ¹⁶ (41:8) One is so near to another, that no air can come between them. ¹⁷ (41:9) They are joined one to another; they stick together, that they cannot be sundered. ¹⁸ (41:10) His sneezings flash forth light, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning. ¹⁹ (41:11) Out of his mouth go burning torches, and sparks of fire leap forth. ²⁰ (41:12) Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot and burning rushes. ²¹ (41:13) His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth. ²² (41:14) In his neck abideth strength, and dismay danceth before him. ²³ (41:15) The flakes of his flesh are joined together; they are firm upon him; they cannot be moved. ²⁴ (41:16) His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, firm as the nether millstone. ²⁵ (41:17) When he raiseth himself up, the mighty are afraid; by reason of despair they are beside themselves. ²⁶ (41:18) If one lay at him with the sword, it will not hold; nor the spear, the dart, nor the pointed shaft. ²⁷ (41:19) He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood. ²⁸ (41:20) The arrow cannot make him flee; slingstones are turned with him into stubble. ²⁹ (41:21) Clubs are accounted as stubble; he laugheth at the rattling of the javelin. ³⁰ (41:22) Sharpest potsherds are under him; he spreadeth a threshing-sledge upon the mire. ³¹ (41:23) He maketh the deep to boil like a pot; he maketh the sea like a seething mixture. ³² (41:24) He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary. ³³ (41:25) Upon earth there is not his like, who is made to be fearless. ³⁴ (41:26) He looketh at all high things; he is king over all the proud beasts.
