1 By the greatnes of this monstre Liviathán God sheweth his greatnes, and his power, which nothing can resist.
1.None is so fearce that dare stirre him up. Who is he then that can stand abefore me?
2.Who hathe prevented me that I shulde bmake an end? All under heaven is mine.
3.I wil not kepe silence concerning chis partes, nor his power, nor his comely proportion. . Job’s repentance. Job.
4.Who can discover the face dof his garment? or who shal come to him with a double ebridel?
5.Who shal fopen the dores of his face? his teeth are feareful round about.
6.The majestie of his scales is like strong shields, and are sure sealed
7.One is set to another, that no winde can come betwene them.
8.One is joined to another: they sticke together, that they can not be sondred.
9.His niesings gmake the light to shine, and his eyes are like the eye lids of the morning.
10.Out of his mouth go lampes, & sparkes of fyre leape out.
11.Out of his nostrelles cometh out smoke, as out of a boyling pot or caldron.
12.His breath maketh the coles burne: for a flame goeth out of his mouth.
13.In his necke remaineth strength, and hlabour is rejected before his face.
14.The members of his bodie are joined: they are strong in them selves, and can not be moved.
15.His heart is as strong as a stone, and as hard as the nether milstone.
16.The mightie are afraied of his majestie, and for feare they faint in them selves.
17.When the sworde doeth touche him, he wil not rise up, nor for the speare, dart nor habergeon.
18.He estemeth yron as strawe, and brasse as rotten wood.
19.The archer can not make him flee: the stones of the sling are turned into stubble unto him.
20.The dartes are counted as straw: and he laugheth at the shaking of the speare.
21.Sharpe stones iare under him, and he spreadeth sharpe things upon the myre.
22.He maketh the depth to kboyle like a pot, and maketh the sea like a pot of oyntment.
23.He maketh a path to lshine after him: one wolde thinke the depth as a hore head.
24.In the earth there is none like him: he is made without feare.
25.He beholdeth mall hie things: he is a King over all the children of pride.
