Job 41:12-26

New International Version

¹² “I will not fail to speak of Leviathan’s limbs,^(A)
    its strength^(B) and its graceful form.
¹³ Who can strip off its outer coat?
    Who can penetrate its double coat of armor^[a]?^(C)
14 Who dares open the doors of its mouth,^(D)
    ringed about with fearsome teeth?
¹⁵ Its back has^[b] rows of shields
    tightly sealed together;^(E)
16 each is so close to the next
    that no air can pass between.
¹⁷ They are joined fast to one another;
    they cling together and cannot be parted.
¹⁸ Its snorting throws out flashes of light;
    its eyes are like the rays of dawn.^(F)
19 Flames^(G) stream from its mouth;
    sparks of fire shoot out.
²⁰ Smoke pours from its nostrils^(H)
    as from a boiling pot over burning reeds.
²¹ Its breath^(I) sets coals ablaze,
    and flames dart from its mouth.^(J)
22 Strength^(K) resides in its neck;
    dismay goes before it.
²³ The folds of its flesh are tightly joined;
    they are firm and immovable.
²⁴ Its chest is hard as rock,
    hard as a lower millstone.^(L)
25 When it rises up, the mighty are terrified;^(M)
    they retreat before its thrashing.^(N)
26 The sword that reaches it has no effect,
    nor does the spear or the dart or the javelin.^(O)
