New Testament

Job 41:3-15 Modern English Version (MEV)

3. Will he make many supplications to you?Will he speak soft words to you?

4. Will he make a covenant with you?Will you take him for a servant forever?

5. Will you play with him as with a bird?Or will you put him on a leash for your maidens?

6. Will your companions make a banquet of him?Will they divide him among the merchants?

7. Can you fill his skin with harpoonsor his head with fishing spears?

8. Lay your hand on him;remember the battle—you will do it no more.

9. Notice, any hope of overcoming him is in vain;shall not one be overwhelmed at the sight of him?

10. No one is so fierce that he dares to stir him up.Who then is able to stand before Me?

11. Who has preceded Me that I should repay him?Everything under heaven is Mine.

12. “I will not conceal his limbs,nor his power, nor his graceful proportions.

13. Who can remove his outer garment?Or who can approach him with a double bridle?

14. Who can open the jaws of his face?His teeth are terrible all around.

15. His scales are his pride,shut up tightly as with a seal.
