Bible verses about "crocodile" | LITV

¹⁴ You cracked open the heads of leviathan; You gave him to be food for the people of the wilderness.

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

¹ In that day Jehovah shall visit the sea monster, the darting serpent, with His great and fierce and strong sword; even on the sea monster, the twisting serpent; and He shall slay the monster that is in the sea.
