Job 41:7-16 English Standard Version (ESV)

7. Can you fill his skin with harpoonsor his head with fishing spears?

8. Lay your hands on him;remember the battle—you will not do it again!

9. Behold, the hope of a man is false;he is laid low even at the sight of him.

10. No one is so fierce that he dares to stir him up.Who then is he who can stand before me?

11. Who has first given to me, that I should repay him? Whatever is under the whole heaven is mine.

12. “I will not keep silence concerning his limbs,or his mighty strength, or his goodly frame.

13. Who can strip off his outer garment?Who would come near him with a bridle?

14. Who can open the doors of his face?Around his teeth is terror.

15. His back is made of rows of shields,shut up closely as with a seal.

16. One is so near to anotherthat no air can come between them.
