New International Version

Job 41:13-25 New International Version (NIV)

13. Who can strip off its outer coat? Who can penetrate its double coat of armor ?

14. Who dares open the doors of its mouth, ringed about with fearsome teeth?

15. Its back has rows of shields tightly sealed together;

16. each is so close to the next that no air can pass between.

17. They are joined fast to one another; they cling together and cannot be parted.

18. Its snorting throws out flashes of light; its eyes are like the rays of dawn.

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

20. Smoke pours from its nostrils as from a boiling pot over burning reeds.

21. Its breath sets coals ablaze, and flames dart from its mouth.

22. Strength resides in its neck; dismay goes before it.

23. The folds of its flesh are tightly joined; they are firm and immovable.

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

25. When it rises up, the mighty are terrified; they retreat before its thrashing.
