New Testament

Job 40:14-23 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

14. He is the beginning of the ways of God, who made him; he will use him as his sword.

15. The mountains bring forth grass for him; all the beasts of the field will play there.

16. He sleeps in the shadows, under the cover of branches, and in moist places.

17. The shadows cover his shadow; the willows of the brook will encircle him.

18. Behold, he will drink a river and not be amazed, and he has confidence that the Jordan could flow into his mouth.

19. He will seize him through his eyes, as if with a hook, and he will bore through his nostrils, as if with stakes.

20. Can you draw out the leviathan with a hook, and can you bind his tongue with a cord?

21. Can you place a ring in his nose, or bore through his jaw with an arm band?

22. Will he offer many prayers to you, or speak to you quietly?

23. Will he form a covenant with you, and will you accept him as a servant forever?
