Declare, if you have understanding. 5 Who determined its measurements, if you know? Or who stretched the line upon it? 6 On what are its foundations fastened? Or who laid its cornerstone, 7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? 8 Or who closed up the sea with doors, when it burst forth, as if it had issued out of the womb? 9 When I made the cloud its garment, and thick darkness a swaddling band for it, 10 And fixed My limit for it, and set bars and doors, 11 And said, This far you shall come, but no further; and here shall your proud waves be stopped? 12 Have you commanded the morning since your days began; and caused the dawn to know its place, 13 That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it? 14 It is changed like clay under the seal; and they stand out like a garment. 15 And from the wicked their light is withheld, and the upraised arm is broken. 16 Have you entered into the springs of the sea?

• Job 41:1-9 : 1 Can you draw out Leviathan with a hook, or his tongue with a cord which you let down? 2 Can you put a hook into his nose, or pierce his jaw with a thorn? 3 Will he make many pleas to you? Will he speak soft words to you? 4 Will he make a covenant with you? Will you take him as a servant forever? 5 Will you play with him as with a bird? Or will you bind him for your maidens? 6 Will the companions make a banquet of him? Will they divide him among the merchants? 7 Can you fill his skin with barbed irons, or his head with fish spears? 8 Lay your hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more. 9 Behold, the hope of capturing him is vain; will not one be cast down even at the sight of him? 10 None is so fierce that dare stir him up; who then is able to stand before me? 11 Who has preceded me, that I should repay him? Whatever is under the whole heaven is mine. 12 I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his handsome proportions. 13 Who can uncover the face of his garment? Or who can come to him with a double bridle? 14 Who can open the doors of his face? His teeth are terrifying all around. 15 His scales are his pride, shut up tightly as with a close seal. 16 One is so near to another that no air can come between them. 17 They are joined one to another; they clasp each other, and cannot be parted. 18 By his sneezings a light shines, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning. 19 Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out. 20 Out of his nostrils goes smoke, as out of a boiling pot or cauldron. 21 His breath kindles coals, and a flame goes out of his mouth. 22 In his neck remains strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him. 23 The folds of his flesh are tightly joined; they are firm on him and cannot be moved. 24 His heart is as hard as a stone; yes, as hard as a lower millstone. 25 When he raises himself up, the mighty are afraid; because of the crashing they are beside themselves. 26 The sword that reaches him cannot prevail, nor the spear, the dart, or the javelin. 27 He regards iron as straw, and bronze as rotten wood. 28 The arrow cannot make him flee; sling stones are turned to stubble by him. 29 Darts are regarded as stubble, he laughs at the shaking of a spear. 30 Under him are sharp stones; he spreads sharp pointed things upon 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 shine after him; one would think the deep to have white hair. 33 On earth there is nothing like him, made without fear. 34 He beholds all high things; he is a king over all the children of pride.
