Job 41

¹“Can you pull in Leviathan with a fishhook

or tie down its tongue with a rope?

²Can you put a cord through its nose

or pierce its jaw with a hook?

³Will it keep begging you for mercy?

Will it speak to you with gentle words?

⁴Will it make an agreement with you

for you to take it as your slave for life?

⁵Can you make a pet of it like a bird

or put it on a leash for the young women in your house?

⁶Will traders barter for it?

Will they divide it up among the merchants?

⁷Can you fill its hide with harpoons

or its head with fishing spears?

⁸If you lay a hand on it,

you will remember the struggle and never do it again!

⁹Any hope of subduing it is false;

the mere sight of it is overpowering.

¹⁰No one is fierce enough to rouse it.

Who then is able to stand against me?

¹¹Who has a claim against me that I must pay?

Everything under heaven belongs to me.

¹²“I will not fail to speak of Leviathan’s limbs,

its strength and its graceful form.

¹³Who can strip off its outer coat?

Who can penetrate its double coat of armor ?

¹⁴Who dares open the doors of its mouth,

ringed about with fearsome teeth?

¹⁵Its back has rows of shields

tightly sealed together;

¹⁶each is so close to the next

that no air can pass between.

¹⁷They are joined fast to one another;

they cling together and cannot be parted.

¹⁸Its snorting throws out flashes of light;

its eyes are like the rays of dawn.

¹⁹Flames stream from its mouth;

sparks of fire shoot out.

²⁰Smoke pours from its nostrils

as from a boiling pot over burning reeds.

²¹Its breath sets coals ablaze,

and flames dart from its mouth.

²²Strength resides in its neck;

dismay goes before it.

²³The folds of its flesh are tightly joined;

they are firm and immovable.

²⁴Its chest is hard as rock,

hard as a lower millstone.

²⁵When it rises up, the mighty are terrified;

they retreat before its thrashing.

²⁶The sword that reaches it has no effect,

nor does the spear or the dart or the javelin.

²⁷Iron it treats like straw

and bronze like rotten wood.

²⁸Arrows do not make it flee;

slingstones are like chaff to it.

²⁹A club seems to it but a piece of straw;

it laughs at the rattling of the lance.

³⁰Its undersides are jagged potsherds,

leaving a trail in the mud like a threshing sledge.

³¹It makes the depths churn like a boiling caldron

and stirs up the sea like a pot of ointment.

³²It leaves a glistening wake behind it;

one would think the deep had white hair.

³³Nothing on earth is its equal—

a creature without fear.

³⁴It looks down on all that are haughty;

it is king over all that are proud.”

Job 42

Job

¹Then Job replied to the Lord:

²“I know that you can do all things;

no purpose of yours can be thwarted.

³You asked, ‘Who is this that obscures my plans without knowledge?’

Surely I spoke of things I did not understand,

things too wonderful for me to know.

⁴“You said, ‘Listen now, and I will speak;

I will question you,

and you shall answer me.’

⁵My ears had heard of you

but now my eyes have seen you.

⁶Therefore I despise myself

and repent in dust and ashes.”

Epilogue

⁷After the Lord had said these things to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “I am angry with you and your two friends, because you have not spoken the truth about me, as my servant Job has. ⁸So now take seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job and sacrifice a burnt offering for yourselves. My servant Job will pray for you, and I will accept his prayer and not deal with you according to your folly. You have not spoken the truth about me, as my servant Job has.” ⁹So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite did what the Lord told them; and the Lord accepted Job’s prayer.

¹⁰After Job had prayed for his friends, the Lord restored his fortunes and gave him twice as much as he had before. ¹¹All his brothers and sisters and everyone who had known him before came and ate with him in his house. They comforted and consoled him over all the trouble the Lord had brought on him, and each one gave him a piece of silver and a gold ring.

¹²The Lord blessed the latter part of Job’s life more than the former part. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen and a thousand donkeys. ¹³And he also had seven sons and three daughters. ¹⁴The first daughter he named Jemimah, the second Keziah and the third Keren-Happuch. ¹⁵Nowhere in all the land were there found women as beautiful as Job’s daughters, and their father granted them an inheritance along with their brothers.

¹⁶After this, Job lived a hundred and forty years; he saw his children and their children to the fourth generation. ¹⁷And so Job died, an old man and full of years.
