Ayub 41:1--42:17

The Description of Leviathan

41:1 (40:25) “Can you pull in Leviathan with a hook,

and tie down its tongue with a rope?

41:2 Can you put a cord through its nose,

or pierce its jaw with a hook?

41:3 Will it make numerous supplications to you,

will it speak to you with tender words?

41:4 Will it make a pact with you,

so you could take it as your slave for life?

41:5 Can you play with it, like a bird,

or tie it on a leash for your girls?

41:6 Will partners 10  bargain 11  for it?

Will they divide it up 12  among the merchants?

41:7 Can you fill its hide with harpoons

or its head with fishing spears?

41:8 If you lay your hand on it,

you will remember 13  the fight,

and you will never do it again!

41:9 (41:1) 14  See, his expectation is wrong, 15 

he is laid low even at the sight of it. 16 

41:10 Is it not fierce 17  when it is awakened?

Who is he, then, who can stand before it? 18 

41:11 (Who has confronted 19  me that I should repay? 20 

Everything under heaven belongs to me!) 21 

41:12 I will not keep silent about its limbs,

and the extent of its might,

and the grace of its arrangement. 22 

41:13 Who can uncover its outer covering? 23 

Who can penetrate to the inside of its armor? 24 

41:14 Who can open the doors of its mouth? 25 

Its teeth all around are fearsome.

41:15 Its back 26  has rows of shields,

shut up closely 27  together as with a seal;

41:16 each one is so close to the next 28 

that no air can come between them.

41:17 They lock tightly together, one to the next; 29 

they cling together and cannot be separated.

41:18 Its snorting throws out flashes of light;

its eyes are like the red glow 30  of dawn.

41:19 Out of its mouth go flames, 31 

sparks of fire shoot forth!

41:20 Smoke streams from its nostrils

as from a boiling pot over burning 32  rushes.

41:21 Its breath sets coals ablaze

and a flame shoots from its mouth.

41:22 Strength lodges in its neck,

and despair 33  runs before it.

41:23 The folds 34  of its flesh are tightly joined;

they are firm on it, immovable. 35 

41:24 Its heart 36  is hard as rock,

hard as a lower millstone.

41:25 When it rises up, the mighty are terrified,

at its thrashing about they withdraw. 37 

41:26 Whoever strikes it with a sword 38 

will have no effect, 39 

nor with the spear, arrow, or dart.

41:27 It regards iron as straw

and bronze as rotten wood.

41:28 Arrows 40  do not make it flee;

slingstones become like chaff to it.

41:29 A club is counted 41  as a piece of straw;

it laughs at the rattling of the lance.

41:30 Its underparts 42  are the sharp points of potsherds,

it leaves its mark in the mud

like a threshing sledge. 43 

41:31 It makes the deep boil like a cauldron

and stirs up the sea like a pot of ointment, 44 

41:32 It leaves a glistening wake behind it;

one would think the deep had a head of white hair.

41:33 The likes of it is not on earth,

a creature 45  without fear.

41:34 It looks on every haughty being;

it is king over all that are proud.” 46 

Job’s Confession

42:1 Then Job answered the Lord:

42:2 “I know that you can do all things;

no purpose of yours can be thwarted;

42:3 you asked, 47 

‘Who is this who darkens counsel

without knowledge?’

But 48  I have declared without understanding 49 

things too wonderful for me to know. 50 

42:4 You said, 51 

‘Pay attention, and I will speak;

I will question you, and you will answer me.’

42:5 I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear,

but now my eye has seen you. 52 

42:6 Therefore I despise myself, 53 

and I repent in dust and ashes!

VII. The Epilogue (42:7-17)

42:7 After the Lord had spoken these things to Job, he 54  said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My anger is stirred up 55  against you and your two friends, because you have not spoken about me what is right, 56  as my servant Job has. 42:8 So now take 57  seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job and offer a burnt offering for yourselves. And my servant Job will intercede 58  for you, and I will respect him, 59  so that I do not deal with you 60  according to your folly, 61  because you have not spoken about me what is right, as my servant Job has.” 62 

42:9 So they went, Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, and did just as the Lord had told them; and the Lord had respect for Job. 63 

42:10 So the Lord 64  restored what Job had lost 65  after he prayed for his friends, 66  and the Lord doubled 67  all that had belonged to Job. 42:11 So they came to him, all his brothers and sisters and all who had known him before, and they dined 68  with him in his house. They comforted him and consoled him for all the trouble the Lord had brought on him, and each one gave him a piece of silver 69  and a gold ring. 70 

42:12 So the Lord blessed the second part of Job’s life more than the first. He had 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 yoke of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys. 42:13 And he also had seven sons 71  and three daughters. 42:14 The first daughter he named Jemimah, 72  the second Keziah, 73  and the third Keren-Happuch. 74  42:15 Nowhere in all the land could women be found who were as beautiful as Job’s daughters, and their father granted them an inheritance alongside their brothers.

42:16 After this Job lived 140 years; he saw his children and their children to the fourth generation. 42:17 And so Job died, old and full of days.
