Job 41:14-25 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

14. Who dares to open its jaws? Its mouth is filled with terrifying teeth.

15. Its back has rows of shields that are close together.

16. Each one is so close to the next one that not even air can pass between them.

17. They are joined tightly to one another. They stick together and can't be forced apart.

18. The leviathan's snorting throws out flashes of light. Its eyes shine like the first light of day.

19. Fire seems to spray out of its mouth. Sparks of fire shoot out.

20. Smoke pours out of its nose. It is like smoke from a boiling pot over burning grass.

21. Its breath sets coals on fire. Flames fly out of its mouth.

22. Its neck is very strong. People run to get out of its way.

23. Its rolls of fat are close together. They are firm and can't be moved.

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

25. When the leviathan rises up, even mighty people are terrified. They run away when it moves around wildly.
