Good News Bible

Job 41:17-27 Good News Bible (GNB)

17. They all are fastened so firmly togetherthat nothing can ever pull them apart.

18. Light flashes when he sneezes,and his eyes glow like the rising sun.

19. Flames blaze from his mouth,and streams of sparks fly out.

20. Smoke comes pouring out of his nose,like smoke from weeds burning under a pot.

21. His breath starts fires burning;flames leap out of his mouth.

22. His neck is so powerfulthat all who meet him are terrified.

23. There is not a weak spot in his skin;it is as hard and unyielding as iron.

24. His stony heart is without fear,as unyielding and hard as a millstone.

25. When he rises up, even the strongest are frightened;they are helpless with fear.

26. There is no sword that can wound him;no spear or arrow or lance that can harm him.

27. For him iron is as flimsy as straw,and bronze as soft as rotten wood.
