Good News Bible

Job 41:22-33 Good News Bible (GNB)

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.

28. There is no arrow that can make him run;rocks thrown at him are like bits of straw.

29. To him a club is a piece of straw,and he laughs when men throw spears.

30. The scales on his belly are like jagged pieces of pottery;they tear up the muddy ground like a threshing-sledge.

31. He churns up the sea like boiling waterand makes it bubble like a pot of oil.

32. He leaves a shining path behind himand turns the sea to white foam.

33. There is nothing on earth to compare with him;he is a creature that has no fear.
