Job 41 — Douay-Rheims Bible

I will not stir him up, like one that is cruel, for who can resist my countenance?● Who hath given me before that I should repay him? All things that are under heaven are mine.● I will not spare him, nor his mighty words, and framed to make supplication.● Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can go into the midst of his mouth?● Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about.● His body is like molten shields, shut close up with scales pressing upon one another.● One is joined to another, and not so much as any air can come between them:● They stick one to another and they hold one another fast, and shall not be separated.● His sneezing is like the shining of fire, and his eyes like the eyelids of the morning.● Out of his mouth go forth lamps, like torches of lighted fire.● Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, like that of a pot heated and boiling.● His breath kindleth coals, and a flame cometh forth out of his mouth.● In his neck strength shall dwell, and want goeth before his face.● The members of his flesh cleave one to another: he shall send lightnings against him, and they shall not be carried to another place.● His heart shall be as hard as a stone, and as firm as a smith's anvil,● When he shall raise him up, the angels shall fear, and being affrighted shall purify themselves.● When a sword shall lay at him, it shall not be able to hold, nor a spear, nor a breastplate.● For he shall esteem iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.● The archer shall not put him to flight, the stones of the sling are to him like stubble.● As stubble will he esteem the hammer, and he will laugh him to scorn who shaketh the spear.● The beams of the sun shall be under him, and he shall strew gold under him like mire.● He shall make the deep sea to boil like a pot, and shall make it as when ointments boil.● A path shall shine after him, he shall esteem the deep as growing old.● There is no power upon earth that can be compared with him who was made to fear no one,● He beholdeth every high thing, he is king over all the children of pride.●
