Job 41:12-25 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

12. From his nostrils comes smokeas from a seething pot or bowl.

13. His breath sets coals afire;a flame comes from his mouth.

14. Strength abides in his neck,and power leaps before him.

15. The folds of his flesh stick together,it is cast over him and immovable.

16. His heart is cast as hard as stone;cast as the lower millstone.

17. When he rises up, the gods are afraid;when he crashes down, they fall back.

18. Should a sword reach him, it will not avail;nor will spear, dart, or javelin.

19. He regards iron as chaff,and bronze as rotten wood.

20. No arrow will put him to flight;slingstones used against him are but straw.

21. Clubs he regards as straw;he laughs at the crash of the spear.

22. Under him are sharp pottery fragments,spreading a threshing sledge upon the mire.

23. He makes the depths boil like a pot;he makes the sea like a perfume bottle.

24. Behind him he leaves a shining path;you would think the deep had white hair.

25. Upon the earth there is none like him,he was made fearless.
