New Century Version

Job 41:16-26 New Century Version (NCV)

16. Each shield is so close to the next onethat no air can go between them.

17. They are joined strongly to one another;they hold on to each other and cannot be separated.

18. When it snorts, flashes of light are thrown out,and its eyes look like the light at dawn.

19. Flames blaze from its mouth;sparks of fire shoot out.

20. Smoke pours out of its nose,as if coming from a large pot over a hot fire.

21. Its breath sets coals on fire,and flames come out of its mouth.

22. There is great strength in its neck.People are afraid and run away.

23. The folds of its skin are tightly joined;they are set and cannot be moved.

24. Its chest is as hard as a rock,even as hard as a grinding stone.

25. The powerful fear its terrible looksand draw back in fear as it moves.

26. The sword that hits it does not hurt it,nor the arrows, darts, and spears.
