New Testament

Job 41:18-34 New Century Version (NCV)

18. When it snorts, flashes of light are thrown out,and its eyes look like the light at dawn.

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

20. Smoke pours out of its nose,as if coming from a large pot over a hot fire.

21. Its breath sets coals on fire,and flames come out of its mouth.

22. There is great strength in its neck.People are afraid and run away.

23. The folds of its skin are tightly joined;they are set and cannot be moved.

24. Its chest is as hard as a rock,even as hard as a grinding stone.

25. The powerful fear its terrible looksand draw back in fear as it moves.

26. The sword that hits it does not hurt it,nor the arrows, darts, and spears.

27. It treats iron as if it were strawand bronze metal as if it were rotten wood.

28. It does not run away from arrows;stones from slings are like chaff to it.

29. Clubs feel like pieces of straw to it,and it laughs when they shake a spear at it.

30. The underside of its body is like broken pieces of pottery.It leaves a trail in the mud like a threshing board.

31. It makes the deep sea bubble like a boiling pot;it stirs up the sea like a pot of oil.

32. When it swims, it leaves a shining path in the waterthat makes the sea look as if it had white hair.

33. Nothing else on earth is equal to it;it is a creature without fear.

34. It looks down on all those who are too proud;it is king over all proud creatures.”
