Job 41:21-32 New English Translation (NET)

21. Its breath sets coals ablazeand a flame shoots from its mouth.

22. Strength lodges in its neck,and despair runs before it.

23. The folds of its flesh are tightly joined;they are firm on it, immovable.

24. Its heart is hard as rock,hard as a lower millstone.

25. When it rises up, the mighty are terrified,at its thrashing about they withdraw.

26. Whoever strikes it with a swordwill have no effect,nor with the spear, arrow, or dart.

27. It regards iron as strawand bronze as rotten wood.

28. Arrows do not make it flee;slingstones become like chaff to it.

29. A club is counted as a piece of straw;it laughs at the rattling of the lance.

30. Its underparts are the sharp points of potsherds,it leaves its mark in the mud like a threshing sledge.

31. It makes the deep boil like a cauldronand stirs up the sea like a pot of ointment,

32. It leaves a glistening wake behind it;one would think the deep had a head of white hair.
