• Job 38:39-39:30 : 39 Wylt thou hunt the pray for the lion? or fill the appetite of the lions whelpes, 40 When they couche in their places, and tarie in the couert to lye in wayte? 41 Who prouideth meate for the rauen, when his young ones crye vnto God, and flee about for lacke of meate? 1 Knowest thou the time whe the wylde goates bring foorth their young among the stonye rockes? or layest thou wayte when the hindes vse to calue? 2 Canst thou number the monethes that they go with young? or knowest thou the time when they bring foorth? 3 They lye downe, they calue their young ones, and they are deliuered of their trauaile and paine: 4 Yet their young ones grow vp, and waxe fatte through good feeding with corne: They go foorth, and returne not againe vnto them. 5 Who letteth the wylde asse to go free? or who looseth the bondes of the wylde mule? 6 Euen I which haue geuen the wyldernesse to be their house, and the vntilled land to be their dwelling. 7 They force not for the multitude of people in the citie, neither regarde the crying of the driuer: 8 But seeke their pasture about the mountaines, and folowe the greene grasse. 9 Wyll the vnicorne do thee seruice, or abide still by thy cribbe? 10 Canst thou binde the yoke about the vnicorne in the forowe, to make him plowe after thee in the valleyes? 11 Mayst thou trust him because he is strong, or commit thy labour vnto him? 12 Mayst thou beleue him that he wyll bring home thy corne, or carry any thing vnto thy barne? 13 Gauest thou the faire winges vnto the pecockes, or winges and fethers vnto the Estriche? 14 For she leaueth her egges in the earth, and heateth them in the dust. 15 She remembreth not that they might be troden with feete, or broken with some wilde beaste. 16 So harde is she vnto her young ones as though they were not hers, and laboureth in vaine without any feare. 17 And that because God hath taken wysdome from her, & hath not geuen her vnderstanding. 18 When her time is that she fleeth vp on hie, she careth neither for the horse nor the ryder. 19 Hast thou geue the horse his strength, or learned him to ney coragiously? 20 Canst thou make him afrayde as a grashopper? where as the stoute neying that he maketh is fearefull. 21 He breaketh the grounde with the hooffes of his feete, he reioyceth cherefully in his strength, and runneth to meete the harnest men. 22 He layeth aside all feare, his stomacke is not abated, neither starteth he backe for any sworde. 23 Though the quiuers rattle vpon him, though the speare and shielde glister: 24 Yet rusheth he in fiercely beating the grounde, he thinketh it not the noyse of the trumpettes: 25 But when the trumpettes make most noyse, he saith, tushe, for he smelleth the battaile a farre of, the noyse of the captaines and the shouting. 26 Commeth it through thy wysdome that the Goshauke flieth toward the south? 27 Doth the Egle mount vp, and make his nest on hye at thy comaundement? 28 He abydeth in stony rockes, and dwelleth vpon the hye toppes of moutaines: 29 From whence he seeketh his praye, and loketh farre about with his eyes. 30 His young ones also sucke vp blood: and where any dead body lyeth, there is he.
• Job 40:15-41:34 : 15 Beholde the beaste Behemoth, who I made with thee, which eateth haye as an oxe: 16 Lo how his strength is in his loynes, and what power he hath in the nauil of his body. 17 When he wyll, he spreadeth out his tayle lyke a Cedar tree, all his sinowes are stiffe. 18 His bones are lyke pipes of brasse, yea his bones are lyke staues of iron. 19 He is the chiefe of the wayes of God, he that made him wyl make his sword to approche vnto him. 20 Surely the mountaines bring him foorth grasse, where all the beastes of the fielde take their pastime. 21 He resteth him in the shade, in the couerte of the reede and fennes. 22 The trees couer him with their shadowe, and the wyllowes of the brooke compasse him about. 23 Beholde, he drinketh vp whole ryuers and feareth not, he thinketh that he can drawe vp Iordane into his mouth. 24 He taketh it with his eyes, and yet the hunter putteth a bridle into his nose. 1 Canst thou drawe out Leuiathan with an hooke, or binde his tongue with a corde? 2 Canst thou put a hooke in the nose of him, or bore his iawe through with a naule? 3 Wyl he make many faire wordes with thee thinkest thou or flatter thee? 4 Wyll he make a couenaunt with thee? or wilt thou take him for a seruaunt for euer? 5 Wylt thou take thy pastime with him as with a birde, wilt thou binde him for thy maydens? 6 That thy companions may make a refection of him: or shall he be parted among the marchauntes? 7 Canst thou fil the basket with his skin? or the fishe panier with his head? 8 Laye thyne hande vpon him, remember the battaile, and do no more so. 9 Beholde his hope is in vaine: for shall not one perishe euen at the sight of him? 10 No man is so fierce that dare stirre him vp: Who is able to stande before me? 11 Or who hath geuen me any thyng aforehande, that I may rewarde him againe? All thinges vnder heauen are myne. 12 I wyll not keepe secrete his great strength, his power, nor his comely proportion. 13 Who can discouer the face of his garment? or who shall come to him with a double brydle? 14 Who shall open the doores of his face? for he hath horrible teeth round about. 15 His scales are as it were strong shieldes, so fastened together as if they were sealed: 16 One is so ioyned to another, that no ayre can come in: 17 Yea, one hangeth so vpon another, & sticketh so together, that they can not be sundred. 18 His neesinges make a glistering like fyre, and his eyes lyke the morning shine. 19 Out of his mouth go torches, and sparkes of fire leape out. 20 And out of his nostrels there goeth a smoke, lyke as out of an hotte seething pot, or caldron. 21 His breath maketh the coles burne, and the flambe goeth out of his mouth. 22 In his necke ther remaineth strength, and nothing is to labourous for him. 23 The members of his body are ioyned so strait one to another, and cleaue so fast together, that he cannot be moued. 24 His heart is as hard as a stone, and as fast as the stythie that the smyth smiteth vpon. 25 When he goeth the mightie are afraide, and feare troubleth them. 26 If any man drawe out a sword at him, it shall not hurt him: there may neither speare, laueling, nor brestplate abide him. 27 He setteth asmuch by iron as by a strawe, and asmuch by brasse as by a rotten sticke. 28 He starteth not away from him that bendeth the bowe: & as for sling stones he careth asmuch for stouble as for the. 29 He counteth the dartes no better then a strawe, he laugheth him to scorne that shaketh the speare. 30 Sharpe stones are vnder him lyke potsheardes, and he lyeth vpon sharpe thinges as vpon the soft myre. 31 He maketh the deepe to boyle lyke a pot, and stirreth the sea together lyke an oyntment. 32 He maketh the path to be seene after him, and he maketh the deepe to seeme all hoarie. 33 Upon earth there is no power lyke vnto his: for he is so made that he feareth not. 34 He beholdeth all the hye thinges, he is a king ouer all the children of pride.
